I’ve also been trying the crossfeed built in to Roon with them. It doesn’t make them sound more like speakers in front of me. The center isn’t any further forward, but it brings the extreme sides around from either shoulder to more front angled. I definitely like it for live recordings. Studio recordings I turn it off for pop or electronic where I prefer the surround sound effect. For rock and metal, I prefer it on to keep the hard panned electric guitar from playing right in my ear. I’ve tried crossfeed many times before but I’ve never liked it enough to leave it on for more than a few minutes. I could leave crossfeed on with the OAE1 and be perfectly happy.
