Anyone can try this, play a movie like the lion king. You want to stay in Dolby surround so go into your settings and turn off the center channel, 4.2, 6.2 or whatever your setup is without the center. Sit in the sweet spot and listen/watch for like 15-20 minutes. A few things you should notice, the voices are still centered but softer, if there are multiple things on the screen they will have there own space from left to right and depending on the quality of your setup there is depth which means there are sounds directly in front of you at different distances which will match what is on the screen . The downside to this is that sweet spot is limited to 1 or 2 people.
1st Post Intro & Ramblings
Hi all, I have been a member for about 10 years and never posted anything although I do read a lot. Figured at some point I would, 10+ years later......
Profession, Audio Visual Tech 22 years. I mostly work in house corporate, conventions and trade shows. Spent some time building clubs, worked a few concerts and home audio has been more of a hobby for a very long time and I have designed and built a few very high end setups years ago. I always hated working professionally on home audio, the customers and sales people are either to cheap or knee deep in marketing and cannot take advice from professionals. My experience has led me to be more aware of the budget, a vast majority cannot spend $10-20k on a stereo and yet some of us spend that on a just 1 component.
I think that will suffice as an introduction, next I will post some of what I have learned along the way. Keep in mind, most of my recommendations come with a budget mindset instead of $$$ all out performance $$$.

I’m back. I will admit that I do not have the education that another poster has, I am not the salesman nor can I create the illusion of grand ole mystery as others. So I will step aside and let a verified pro explain. https://youtu.be/3BBoz-g9Y7A Sounds a lot like what I said from the beginning of this thread. Happy listening. |
