After moving houses and upgrading several components recently, I have spent the last several months moving my Montis speakers around, first by feet, then inches, finally quarter inches until I got them to where I think they sounded their best. Once I was finally happy with their placement, I carefully marked their location and then replaced the flat feet with the ML-supplied spikes. The spikes sit on small (1") metal hockey pucks, which in turn are on a thin rug over a tile floor.
To my great surprise, the fantastic soundstage and imaging that I had worked so hard to optimize was gone! I re-measured everything and confirmed that both speakers were exactly in the same spot as before, the distances to the front and side walls and toe-in all the same as before. But now the image is fuzzy and diffuse and the soundstage has collapsed into the space between the speakers.
My room is 12x20x8 and the speakers are 75.5" from the front wall (the short wall), 33.5" from the side walls and 76" apart, center to center. The listening position is 8' from each speaker.
Has anyone else seen this before? Thoughts?
