DSP to increase perceived distance between speakers

[musictechwriter]

We downsized to a much smaller home and our music listening area is less than ideal. There's no way to create an equilateral triangle with the L and R speakers and our couch. The speakers are too close to each other. It would be great if the built-in DSP could include a way to increase the apparent distance between the speakers where you could input the distance between the speakers, distance from that center point to the seating area, and the WiiM Pro would automagically adjust EQ, delay, or what have you. Thanks!

I guess to describe this more generally, a stereo expander effect is what I would like to request, but one that tries to compensate for speakers that are too close together vs. the old type of expanders that just created some out of phase sounds. Thanks.

Hi,
Oh, actually, it's not "audiophile" but it would be useful for watching movies.
I also have an unbalanced speaker arrangement relative to the TV - one speaker is further away. But it is symmetrical for the point of listening to music. However, the central voices of the actors are off-screen. Since I listen to music through Qobuz, and use SPDIF when watching movies, this week I wanted to try to skip the SPDIF sound from the TV through the Raspberry Pi and make a delay for one of the channels using CamillaDSP. I wonder what I can do

Hi,

Isn't that mainly a volume balance issue?
Could adjusting the balance in the WiiM app resolve it?

In that case, you might want to request an update that allows adjusting the balance via presets.

I've tried adjusting the volume balance, but I want to make sure that adjusting the delay won't make a significant improvement.

But, continuing the author's theme, I think I would like to see FIR in room correction.
