Can an Amp Create a Larger Soundstage?

[derrickdj1]

As far as the image, the sound is in the front stage with perceptual cues coming from the right and left portion of the  sound stage.  I can say the sound is rarely foucused at the speaker.  The point I am trying make is that what we hear as a lot to doing distace between speakers, MLP, room and other variables.

 

I bet most people with those big Khorn don't keep looking to the corners, lol.

Exactly! That's why I'm puzzled as to why this is seeming "wrong" to some. Lol

My Klipschorn's imaged so well when I ran them in two channel you would swear that the center La Scala was playing.  They did this regardless of the amplifier that was connected to them.  Amps don't image speakers do, they should amplify and nothing more.  To say the Acurus amplifier is lesser quality than the receiver's internal amplifier is BS.

I understand amps may not image but I get imaging with either situation. I'm referring to sound stage width only that is changing

I had a sub in the center for a while a few years back, and a good friend with good ears had to put his ear to it to convince himself that the mono recording wasn't coming from it...
