Analytical observations.

To me, this article makes a statement of how many believe high end audio is achieved; in that, the perception that "proper" staging and imaging requires electronic manipulation and a multiple speaker system. I could not disagree more.

Really, Plato. My purpose in judgement of the article is not to denounce room-correcting electronics, but to suggest a properly set-up two way system, with excellent acoustics is capable of outstanding staging and imaging. I have heard systems that swelled the room...front to back with surprising realism.

My experience with multi-miked systems is finite, having exposure to only three, all for short listening sessions. Two had exceeded my expectations in nearly every parameter; mostly in representation of decay and the subtle nuance of each instrument. More three-dimensionality.
