The sound stage is more dependent on drivers, locations, phase, slopes than equalizer.

You can improve imaging by equalizer as it makes the reproduction more linear by eradicating peaks or dips in frequency spectrum.

All I want to say that the peak or dip at "7KHz" alone cannot affect the sound stage enough to notice so easily. Moreover the cause of this variation has more to do with the speakers and car acoustics than CD player.
I agree with you on all the above terms. I would like to elaborate a bit. There is not a peak or dip at 7khz alone. I said it is at 7hz and above. Which can be at 8khz to 12k.

The main funda I am trying to say here is that with the 9887 the tweeter were playing louder when compared to P80 which shifted the soundstage higher simple. I said why 7khz and above because the tweeter is giving 7khz and above.

And the my tweeter is crossed at 7khz as it is running passive with the cross over which came with it.



Also the two-way Iridium kit is crossed at 3.8 khz.

Yes I agree. Investing in high end ICE equipment must be done seriously and only after listing to it. But here in india that type of resources are yet to be made. But T-Bhp is helping in a great way.
