11 Stereo Width and Imaging

Once you have located the best position for the speakers and your chair for
bass performance, separate the speakers by 50-60% of the distance from your
chair to the speakers. For example, if your chair is 10 feet from the speakers,
move the speakers 5-6 feet apart. Now, move the speakers apart in increments
of 3 or 4 inches at a time, listening carefully at each position. At some point
you will start to hear two separate speakers instead of a stage effect or
continuous image. When this occurs, your speakers are too far apart. Begin
moving the speakers back in small increments until you notice a point at
which you achieve one cohesive sound stage.
