Folks:
Q: WHY would the average *music* listener want surround sound?
A: They won't and, since this has already been tried (including with some
of the best known artists of all times), no one in the MUSIC business will
*ever* try it again.
Case closed.
MOVIE-watchers wanted surround in their living-rooms because they got it in
the theaters. So they got it.
GAME-players, if they are fanatical enough (which means very few of them),
can use it also. So they got it.
VR/Telepresence users (which is a small fraction of those predicted when VR
was a "bubble" in early 90s) can use it. So they got it.
Enthusiasts with complicated computer-rigs, lots of speakers and lots of
space (like me), can play with it all day long. So we got it.
But MUSIC listeners . . . fuggetaboutit!! (And nothing said on this list
will change any of this. Case closed.)
