a much more sensitive test than music for many things like setting speaker toe in, fine tuning the listening position, fine tuning EQ, setting octave to octave balance (voicing), listening for resonances, and other uses.
Just move you head left and right and then front and back slightly. With some practice the sound will just snap into focus. That is the right spot.
Maybe it is difficult for you to follow 2 discussions in the same thread, you will say. I tried Pink noise full band at MLP and the sound was spot in the center in front of me. I switched polarity of left front. It was more difficult to find what you described as "were the noise sounds smooth AND the image just locks to a hole in the center" . Yes the sound goes from outside the fronts placement (sorry for my english) but I heared mid and high FR in the middle of my head or in front of me. Moving the head a little changed the SS&I. I play with the toe until the sound was spread evenly toward the room. I guess it wasn't what you meant. When I reverse the leads am I searching to recreate by toeing in the speakers the spot dead center I had befor doing so?
