| Two-channel is inferior to multi-channel, no? "I know we're not talking cheap home theater but that is where center channel helps the most. In my system imaging is close to perfect and sweet spot is wide enough for me."I beg to differ. If you haven't heard it for yourself, you can't attest to... | |
| Two-channel is inferior to multi-channel, no? "Cdwallace3 - I'm not sure how center channel would help in my system where I have center images right on the spot and midrange is very clear but I suspect it helps a lot with center image and voice presence on cheap satellite home theater system ... | |

| Best mastered recordings I just checked the release dates of all my DG CD's and none were released before 2001. I guess this puts me in the clear. | |
| Best mastered recordings WOW! I'm glad I didn't purchase older copies of DG releases. I'm referring to recent releases/remasters... | |
| Best mastered recordings Maybe I've been the more fortunate one to have purchased the better DG recordings, unknowingly. Mind you, I may not have years of exposure to classical music and recordings like many of you, but at this point in my progression, I favor more toward... | |

| 5.1 newbie - rear speaker position questions If you are using the system predominatly for music, do not mount the speakers high...at all. Keep the position the same as the rest of the speakers, ear level. 3 to 5 feet above the listening position is the textbook answer for using dipole speake... | |
| An Audiophile Goal Johnnyb53 stated: "1. Flat frequency response is overrated in the sense that it is the distortion that we listen through the most easily. Think about a live concert. Between concert room interactions to the sound guy doing EQ boosts and dips, live... | |
| It's Hammond B3 Organ Day Wow!! I am a huge Hammond lover, and you all have mentioned spectacular musicians that have triggered a lot of fond memories.I must say, my personal favorite...thus far, is Jimmy Smith. The Organ Grinder Swing is simply amazing!!!!!Jimmy Smith, Ji... | |
| DC Metro -- New If space is available, I'm all in. I just moved to Upper Marlboro, MD. If November or December meeting is scheduled, keep me posted. | |
| A curious multichannel effect I think the large open space Chad mention is a factor...but not the only integration IMO. It would take some time to set things up (delays, etc) right, but surround/multichannel is, or at least is ment to be, designed and configured to playback me... | |
| DC Metro If there is space still available, I would like to join as well. |
