I forgot to mention.... AWESOME veneer Gary. Perfect match to that ent. center.
Perfect example of what I was saying about how it's not that hard to make them fit into a room and look outstanding.
-I miss the wide soundstage, but imaging and depth are still very nice. What wall teatments would help? Both speakers are about a foot out from the back wall and the left speaker is 1 foot from a side wall. The right speaker is next to the dining room, so lots of open space on that side.
IMO the first step in room treatments is to figure out what the prob is. Sounds like you don't really have a prob. -which is always a good place to be.
You said you're getting good imaging and depth -and it's simply 'cuz the speakers are closer together that the width is narrower and nothing you can do about that if the space doesn't allow it.
BTW... sometimes that WIDE width sounds awesome on stuff like a full orchestra, but sometimes playing say rock music you 'see' the drummer has a kit that's a BIT wider than realistic. heheh Funny as hell to 'see' a drum roll pan ~11'!!! heheh In some ways it sounds cool, but uh... not THAT realistic! hehehe
Anyway... the description of 1' from a solid wall and the other speaker w/ no reflection does seem like it'd normally be something you'd want to hit.
Compressed fiberglass is about the best broadband absorber and can look nice if you cover it in a light/breathable cloth that matches your wall. That'll do a lot to 'erase' that wall so close to one speaker.
Symmetry is typically key to best imaging.
Also it seems like Danny favors a listening distance a little longer than the speaker's width if you can do that.
Being a line source you have a lot more distance available to still be in the 'nearfield'.
If you can do it that's how you can make that soudstage LARGE yet still image sharp.
