Ahem....I am going to potentially ask a very controversial question...please excuse my ignorance gents.
I have two sets of good quality Hifi systems (so I believe)
1. B&W803S <-- Classe CAP-2100 <-- Classe CDP-102
2. B&W685 <-- Rotel RA-05 <-- Denon 3910
I would like to believe that both these pair of speakers are renowned for their performance and many (if not all) features you would associate with a high end speakers.
In my personal experience, poorly placed speakers, no matter how good quality they are, will neither give you right stereo imaging nor enough depth etc. On the other hand if the speakers are correclty placed i.e. not too close to the rear or side walls (atleast 0.5m away), are apart enough (aleast 1.5 m), and are at equidistance from the listener (to form the perfect triangle) ....they would produce excellent sound stage and would be almost invisible (sonically ofcourse)
So how much is stereo imaging really a virtue of the speaker and not just placement of the speakers??
