Do NOT Blow Your Entire Budget on Two Channel Audio

@deep_333

There is a significant technical learning curve for correct implementation of object based audio that would be very difficult for technologically challenged old men.

Of course you are right. But then I see the shrines to the gods of music the geezer crowd has built over the years in the system area and I go, well, they are doing something right. A LOT of members already do 5.1 and buying a receiver these days isn't that big of a leap.

Now, some of these DIY guys can make speakers, tube amps, and stuff you can't imagine. For them an atmos setup would be like making cereal for breakfast.

It can be very difficult to go back to stereo after it is experienced on a rig that means business.

Yep, roger that, I like stereo for listening on my porch, my patio, my office but when its time for a 2 hour playlist of critical listening it is generally either upmixed to MCH or atmos in the media room. With Atmos there is so MUCH content I still want to get to and they keep dropping more.

This has to be the lamest of jokes ever perpetrated on A'gon, ever.

As an audiophile that loves two channel and has the setup to experience spatial audio on Apple Music through my AppleTV. When I browse around and try and enjoy the experience especially music I know and love it’s kind of distracting, lacks impact, feels like all of the music has lost its upfront soundstage like there no one in front of you playing, the music has lost its instrument separation and sounds a little mono sounding from each speaker like it has no dynamics, feels overly processed and makes my eyes wonder (weird) at least in what I’ve tried.

The only time I feel it’s pretty cool is with some meditation type music/sounds.

So when it comes to music such as classic rock or something we might prefer what are some good examples I should look for and try out?

That’s a great post, thanks ...

Etc., etc....

You are really laying it on thick.

@deep_333 ​​​​​@kota1 ,

Both your last posts are incredibly insulting to the majority of forum members and not based in reality. Being older precludes us from having the intelligence to set up a system like the one you're so thick in your pants about??!

I'm certain the 'geezer crowd' here can run intellectual circles around you both. Your presumptuous arrogance speaks to your intellectual immaturity. You two kindred spirits should take your age bashing nonsense private.
