Immersive Audio and How to Achieve It
@curiousjim You can get this incredible 13 speaker, 7.2.4 active setup from Focal for about the same price as two of their more luxurious passive tower speakers (where you provide the amps). All you need are stands and balanced cables, save your... 
Immersive Audio and How to Achieve It
@curiousjim I think you are missing a few things to get your home system to be more immersive. when you go to a concert, you have A LOT of amps powering A LOT of speakers. Most of the time they are tri amped and you can feel the subwoofers from ...

@speedthrills Related (somewhat) to this post- does anyone have advice as to how to decode my Vizio output via its HDMI into high quality 2 channel audio I can listen to through my main audio system? Yes, you can get an "audio extractor" to ac... 
Immersive Audio and How to Achieve It
@drmuso First, love the system you posted and especially that rack of LP’s. I agree I would rather hear a great recording of a live performance than be stuck at one that sucks (crowd noise, bad seats, too loud, etc). I think your speakers are ve...

Immersive Audio and How to Achieve It
@ghdprentice Your idea of using multi speakers and Atmos… well, it is one of those things that sounds great on paper but isn’t remotely close to working in the real world. Santana, Adele, Aerosmith and many others are ALL incorporating Atmos in...

Immersive Audio and How to Achieve It
"A stupid post that assumes what everyone likes and wants. Nonsense."   Did you mean to say "100% of people who define immersiveness solely in terms of dancing prefer to dance to live rather than recorded music"? Are we talking drunk or sober?... 
Immersive Audio and How to Achieve It
An acoustically well treated room + an immersive audio setup like in the dolby layout above + an itunes or Tidal subscription= "It sounds like you are in the studio with Miles and the band" At :20 in the video from the remixing session of Miles ... 
Immersive Audio and How to Achieve It
@fleschler After all of the years and dedication to two channel why are you STILL searching for an end game speaker you can afford? Why haven’t you hit this goal years (or decades) ago? I was fortunate to have stumbled across the Sunfire Theater... 
Immersive Audio and How to Achieve It
@ghdprentice  You have one of the nicest and most expensive two channel setups I have seen in the virtual systems area and have yet to embrace a far less expensive approach using atmos/spatial audio, to achieve the immersive end result, why?
