Hello. One of the things I enjoy the most while hearing music is the imaging (or soundstage or 3d effect), closing my eyes and feeling like the band is in front of me playing a song, with e.g. the singer on the center in front of me, the piano on the left, guitar on the right, chorists on the far right, etc. etc. As of today my speakers consist of a pair of Triangle Titus 202 bookshelf speakers and Triangle Zerius 202 floorstanding speakers. I find that the bookshelf ones image better and easily than the floorstanding ones. I'm in the search of NEW speakers and while I got really impressed hearing a pair of Polk Audio speakers (model S60) and how remarkably good they imaged, in leaning towards KEF AUDIO speakers, basically the R3 bookshelf or the R7 floorstanding ones. I auditioned both today and don't know why, the R7 though being floorstanding ones image better to me than the R3 bookshelf. Both pair of speakers were in line only the R7 being farther away from each other than the R3. I like the R7 sound better overall but they are not cheap (in my country they are selling for at $4,200.oo) and one mistake could lead me to a big loss. I'm going to audition both again but could it be that the floorstanding R7 speakers imaged better than the R3 bookshelf speakers? Thank you very much for your help!
