Ok, so several movie companies rejected WFS because of ruining the 2D "vibe" of the movies. But how about now, in 3D? Also, when talking special effects, you mostly use software, so EigenMic should not even be that necessary. I've used AmbDec and AMB plugins on third-order (I had 16 speakers) and that worked great. We all know what Dolby suffers from, and switching to Ambisonics doesn't even need that much of implementation or adjustment, especially if you use 10.2 setups in cinemas (I recognize the problem of decoding irregular shapes, and cinemas are not spherical, but far from irregular). I can't express my annoyance after watching The Avengers with that "swoosh" sound jumping from one speaker to another, without real continuity.
As far as spouse convincing goes, my only question is shouldn't this be an enthusiast's job? For the record, I believe hardcore gamers are that sort of people, and I know a lot who would give any kind of money for at least a decent surround (especially now with 3D glasses). And what did they get? A few lousy racing games. The same applies for others who are willing to use Ambisonics. -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
