| Where do I position 4 speakers for 3D stereo sound Without the right processing, 4 speakers cannot do 3d sound. Heck, without the right recording, 4 speakers cannot do 3d sound. You might get wall to wall sound or surround sound from all directions, but 3d sound??? Not really... 2 channel was crea... | |

| Interconnect help for a NEUTRAL system I'd give Nordost Quatrofil IC's a shot, if you can afford them. They work very well if you can spare the cash. These cables are fast, accurate, and very detailed. They are pretty neutral. I have had a SF3SE preamp (still have it, going to sell it ... | |
