So when i listen to music and think about soundstage i just always thought it was the position of the sounds inside my head. Reading a bunch of things here I've realized that soundstage is actually supposed to sound like instruments outside my head in different places. The only time ive had that experience was with binaural recordings, they do trick my brain into thinking the sound is coming from somewhere besides a driver next to my ear. But when listening to normal stereo recordings my brain just registers music as either left, right or in the center of my head(vocals). Speakers don't help much either, a stereo setup just sounds like its coming from the speakers although i can position instruments in between the speakers sometimes. 7.1 surround just sounds like the sounds a coming from the 7 different speakers. Although the speaker and headphones ive listened to aren't the greatest for soundstage, i have listened to my uncles klipsch setup that him and a few audio-industry people spent a good amount of time getting setup for proper imaging, did nothing for me. Ive listened to K501, k701, dt880, dt990, HD600, 650, LCD-2, Lcd-3, and Stax 009(not to mention the headphones in my sig). And none of them did anything for me as far as soundstage goes.
I also have no clue what im asking here.
