- Well, I'm not Brian, but I'd like to add my opinion here.
-
- I believe most people prefer front-primary imaging because it provides
- an illusion of "being there"; like you're at a concert and the sound
- stage is in front of you (when was the last time you went to a concert
- and stood backwards through it?). However, I personally prefer rear-
- primary imaging because in most cases (and especially my application),
- it allows for far greater sound quality (my 6x9"s plus self-powered
- sub versus a 3 1/2" mounted high and 5 1/4" mounted low). In reality,
- I tend to balance everything so that my ears, in my natural driving
- position, are the exact center of the sound - move slightly forward,
- and the stage is in front of me; move slightly backward, and the
- stage is behind me.
-
- How do other people here feel about imaging? What do you do to create
- the image you want? What equipment do you have? I'm very interested in
- hearing about people's specific applications, including problems they
- have and how they've (attempted to) overcome them.
