The link from my sig? ...The sound stage is pretty good in there. ...It has heft too.
Nice, very nice ... a good power supply killer, this one - my PC speakers have a major weakness, lack of energy storage for the voltages and at a decent volume the rails collapse when the drums come in ...
Frank, for a fair representation of that music selection you need some' like a pair of Wilson Audio Alexandra XLF loudspeakers, I think. 😉
I should have posted the 2-inch reel-to-reel original tape recording, in all its captured resolution and grandeur.
Next time, I will. ...Expand that sound stage.
Don't have a problem with the YouTube quality, the fault's all on the replay side for me. The left speaker is also weaker than the right, struggles more with heavy duty low end stuff when cold.
And, in connection with my comments on conditioning cheap speakers, and electronics - this is what I did to "prove" it works: created a 100Hz tone track which ramped from nothing to a peak and then faded out; put it on continuous repeat against the poorer speaker. As it approached peak level all sorts of nasty noises were to be heard - OK, just leave it going for 10 minutes or so; come back, my, things have improved! Still not brilliant at the max point, but it only really deteriorates at a significantly higher level - easy to see by watching the bouncing ball, 🙂 - and the type of unpleasantness is far more restrained ...

That i would like to hear. Bringng the kit over the Malahat would be much more effective thou 🙂

Don't believe in bass, Bob, not the usual hifi version, anyway!! 😀
For me, "soundstage" has never been about the bass - I've taken my demo CDs to dealers and homes where they've had big wallopers ... and, unfortunately the latter is what they often sound like - good for effects in movies and such, but a long way from the real thing ...
Lol Dave, the highway to hell when there's snow on it!
Any cute weemen rampant in your very near neighborhood? That strip joint downtown is still operating?
I'm here to learn, and teach as well. 🙂
* To remain on topic; the soundstage is real, the word is mighty fine in the audio vocabulary. It has volume, consistency, expansion, holographic presence.

You can even say "soundstage's foundation".
* The degree of imaging is based on, derived from the width of the soundstage. ...Inside and outside the loudspeaker's periphery.
...A sound attribute of its form's function.

I will have to listen to that one at another time , too much of a change from whats banging out now (toots and the maytals )..
A sub-woofer and wet-fart have many similarities but expanding the sound-stage is not what springs to mind.
This is one where a well sorted out subwoofer will make the difference ... I had a look at the waveform, the big drum strikes are actually 200Hz peaks, so a well behaved midrange unit will get the transient attack right - but, the sustain of the skin's vibration is a strong 40Hz tone, a deep throbbing in other words - a good test of driver behaviour ...
