I just tested it with the walkaround tracks on some test CDs (XLO / Sheffield Labs, XLO / Reference Recordings). The angle of the drivers are set at around 30 degrees. My left/right headstage is about 5-6ft away from my head. Front headstage is about 6ft deep. Back headstage is about 2-3ft from the back of my head. How about yours? I wonder if I can improve on the width and depth with better equipment or I have pretty much reached the limit of the K1000.

P.S. The K1000 sounded so real and spooky as if the guy was walking around in my room.

Well if I put the speakers on their full range the soundstage is massive, way too big imo, I use them at about 1cm apart from the headband, sounds like a proper soundstage to me.

It's not the size that matters, it's...oh wait, we're not talking about that. So K1000 is not a euphemism for...oh.

The width and depth seem to change with the recording. I've never quite been able to quantify how deep and wide they are, but I sure love the soundstage they present.

If you want a more expansive soundstage, try a pair of dipole speakers. There's nothing quite like them, save for the real thing.

That famous K1000 soundstage seems to be damn good. I can't remember anything I could measure more than half a foot away.

It certainly depends on the record, and how much I swivel the K1000's.
Hard to set a number on how big it is, but no other headphone I have heard can match it.
