> "Getting multichannel done "right" can be a bit of a challenge of course and for practical reasons, will not be for everyone including soundroom setup, WAF, increased cost, etc... I just wish it was easier without all these bits and pieces I've had to cobble together!
well getting stereo right is hard. and some recordings kinda demand you reposition your speakers just for their sake. just with 2 speakers. can you say Keith Jarret with his piano centric recording approach? won't work for almost anything else. but if you use it with the setup that works for most other things you get a piano that's about 20ft wide. i can't even imagine moving around 7 speakers to cater to the whim of the recording. :-) that's all. there are absolutely no recording standards, so i think the more speakers, the more impossible it'll be to get it right. it's bad enough with a large stereo music library. we go for a compromise. ...pablo Server: Virtual Machine running Ubuntu 12.04 + LMS 7.7.3 on VMware Player System: SB Touch --optical->- Benchmark DAC2HGC --AnalysisPlus Oval Copper XLR->- NAD M22 Power Amp --AnalysisPlus Black Mesh Oval->- Totem Element Fire Other Rooms: 2x SB Boom; 1x SB Radio; 1x SB Classic-> MusicalFidelity M1PWR -> Totem DreamCatcher Computer audio: workstation --USB->- audioengine D1 -> Grado PS500e ------------------------------------------------------------------------ pablolie's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3816 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=102992 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
