Ok good, lol so im not crazy. I picked up a set of Paradigm SE Monitor 6000D's and im noticing better imaging and more third dimensional sound from what im used to on my hifiman 400i's. I've spent a good amount of time tweaking the setup though.
Yup I already built accoustic panels for the walls, in addition to the cloth sofas rather than leather. That was the first thing I did since it made the most difference and the reverb was terrible due to the room being 40ft long and 12ft wide (the listening area is 12ftx 22ft). I’ve had that setup for two years prior to getting my new speakers, than I just finished building a large diffuser using a special program which than brought it up a notch again. I finished it off with two 10” subs I built with mdf wired it series to 8ohms.
This makes sense, in my setup if sitting slightly side by side with my wife it does alter the image but not to the point where it immediately ruins it. There are only two seats in my first theatre row but i can imagine anything more off to the side would completely ruin it. Yes this is a theatre/listening room lol, i cant imagine how people can have both dedicated theatres and listening rooms unless you live in a 6000 square foot mansion. For a listening room you need a larger room, a tiny 9x10 bedroom i wouldn't even bother as i was told...so theatre it was.
