How can you not have multichannel system
Sorry Mrtennis, but you lose 40 love, or 3 sets to none with your doubles partner, tvad, on knowledge of multichannel setups and music. Furthermore, what you described with four speakers in a stereo system is a two channel preamp split to send the... 
How can you not have multichannel system
Your comment is incorrect and suggests you have not heard certain multichannel sacd recordings. Blood on the Tracks was released in the mid 70's; Live at the Fillmore East released in the early 70's. Both released in stereo format only. Yet, both ... 
How can you not have multichannel system
If i may add to the above, the emphasis is to integrate the surrounds with the fronts, and that is mostly in the hands of the sound engineers. The dts version of Allman Bros Live at the Fillmore East is virtually unlistenable either because of the... 
How can you not have multichannel system
I believe all music issued as stereo can be reissued as multichannel because of the original process of recording multitracks and then down mixing them into two tracks. For example, the Live at Filmore East was originally released in stereo, and w... 
How can you not have multichannel system
Dweller, I have yet to see it on dvd-audio. I tried the DTS one and that was a disaster. Have the deluxe edition version which is ok, but the sacd disc is without doubt the best, excluding the lp, which I originally had and made me mad seeking an ... 
How can you not have multichannel system
Eldartford, ironically you have described my experience. My sound system is located in what many would consider small. Yet, I employ Martin-Logan CLS IIz speakers in the front and Martin-Logan SL3s in the rear. Because the listener's seat is appro... 
How can you not have multichannel system
Elevick, I did try the vinyl route when it was making a surge in the late nineties (and continuing today), and assembled a decent front end, but could not get over my sensitivity to the crackle, pop side effects. In fact, I always been sensitive t... 
How can you not have multichannel system
Sorry Usblues for boring you with subjects discussed in the past, but maybe buried under hundreds of succeeding threads. Other readers, however, were interested enough to post their thoughts. Maybe next time I'll start a thread debating the sound ... 
How can you not have multichannel system
Tvad, you are correct and I am not advocating shoe horning multichannel system into spatially restricted rooms. 
How can you not have multichannel system
In the world of hi-fi, stereo is considered the basic sound setup, and from there up, it is multichannel. As a rough analogy, when the automobile was invented it was first referred to as a horseless carriage, in deference to the then basic form of... 
Vinyl and SACD rule when it comes to...
There will never be hope for the masses. Elitism exists. Why do we worry about the masses. If we have the ability to appreciate music beyond the millions who settle for Walmart sound systems, why should we care. And one doesn't have to spend thous... 
who makes a decent center channel speaker?
yes, as close as i can get it to the flat screen display. my setup is almost 'nearfield' due to room size 
who makes a decent center channel speaker?
My post mentioned using a Martin Logan SL3 as a vertical center to go with the M-L CLSIIz to achieve a rough match in tonality and timbre, for purposes of movie dialogue 
who makes a decent center channel speaker?
Hey Kal, get the 'nudist' off your mind and please comment about what I posted. I would appreciate your thoughts. 
who makes a decent center channel speaker?
I've capitulated to the argument advanced by Kal to dispense with the horizontal center channel speaker and use a traditional vertical speaker closely matching the L/R. I have Martin Logan CLS IIz as L/R. Because of space limitations, I am moving ...
