Post Subject: Perspective is geometryPosted by rowuk on: 9/18/2023
If we think about our favorite seats for "symphonic program", chamber concerts and solo performances, based on our favorite seat, we can draw the angle of view for each and duplicate that in the home. I happen to like row 15-20 in the large venues that I frequent. That results in the stage corners being about 80-90°. That is easy enough to create at home but greater than the traditional "isoceles triangle" setup mentioned in historic loudspeaker setup documentation.Unfortunately, my preferences for chamber and solo music are much closer to the ensemble, making the angle of incidence greater (110°-120°). I normally do not change the position of my speakers, but some toe in (more focus) or toe out (less intimate) often solves any preferences. Sitting closer to the ensemble makes individual performers easier to locate - exactly what happens with a small amount of toe in.Rerurn to Romy the Cat's Site
