Science Fiction Time ?

OK you budding H.G. Wells and Jules Verne types. What is the next great quantum leap in audio. I'm not talking about refinements of existing technology. Two catagories...1) inventions. (Mechanical to electronic amplification, tubes to transistors, analog to digital, etc.) A system just starting to get a foothold that will esentially replace existing technology for the mass consumer market (CD'S over vinyl, cassettes over 8-track, or DVD over Laser Disc). I'll post some thoughts of my own, later! Happy Tunes!

I think room stuff is still thinking in the box. I'd suggest an array of speakers made like a phased array radar that would sense your head and follow you around so you are always in a 3d sweet spot sound wise.

Also we need a pure solid state music source, a crystal that is scanned (3d latice) so no rotating wow, flutter,jitter etc is introduced. We are almost there with RAM memory or flash card (digital cameras) up to 1Gbite already available.
