How can you not have multichannel system

after years and years of being a dedicated two channel person I set up a 5.1 channel home theatre system

it is great for movies and concert blu rays
(a jl audio fathom 113 sub is a big addition)
some of the new remixed 5.1 like genesis 1970-1975 sound neat on this system - with some of the instruments and backings coming out of the rears

still it will never meet the nuance of performance of my 2 channel rig especially vinl
but they are getting better

I would love to hear a small chamber group or jazz combo recorded in the round with 5 channel recording
with the mics (directional)and all coming from a central point (re-recreate the 5.1 setting in reverse)

nice Eldartford

I'll have to check that label out.
The engineers who get multichannel and create a "in the midst" type recording should be rewarded.
Unfortunately most haven't truely exploited the medium

too bad you can't digitally 'rotate' the preference of the 5 channels. say you have smaller rears - get that cello and viola on your fronts and the violin in the rear

having a multi channel system for movies and the limited amount of recordings that take use of it's full benefits

that would be like owning a ferrai with only one fun challenging road to drive it on

I'd much rather concentrate on a 2 channel system for the pure emotion of music

I finally made the jump on multi last year and it's been fun but I couldn't ever invest for the multi mega buck multi version

Gabrial Garcia Marquez multi?

no way - that man is passionate and has a hard time telling myth from reality - two channel and analog all the way
