That's why one can get a deep, wide soundstage with headphones, it's certainly not a limitation of headphones per se. in fact the headphone soundstage has the potential to be considerably better than speakers, it's a purer signal, it depends on skill of listener. The soundstage isn't as some would have you believe an artificial thing, a projected type of thing or a manipulation of the engineers.It's not what you have, it's what you do with it, like anything else. I'm not trying to set the world on fire, just start a flame in a few hearts.
