What Are Your Reference Discs? or Specific Reference Tracks

Why do you not like Year of the Cat? LOL I have the new box set with the 5.1 Dolby and it is VERY well recorded on my system. My favorite and show off disc is Eagle's at Melbourne. Jeff Becks at Ronnie Scotts is a close second... But I think most on this forum prefer stereo. I like to be surrounded....

I just ordered a Lyngdorf MP-40. I’m hoping to use the "Center Spread" of the Lyngdorf just for the purpose of taking some of the center channel out (and moving it into the Mains) of the Eagle Visions 5.1 DTS-HD Dolby recordings of many of my Concert recordings. For example, the Eagles @ Melhorn is absolutely the gold standard. But many other otherwise good concerts, Doobie Bros @ Wolf Trap, Jethro Tull @ Montreux etc. super impose material on the center channel. Maybe they do it that way for cheaper systems, buy on a nice system it actually is irritating. You can lower the volume of that one speaker, but then you have lost all that material . I assume you are talking about 2 channel play, but I use my system for much more than that .
