In Reply to: Imaging -- MCH vs. 2 CH posted by es347 on March 24, 2006 at 16:57:02:
what in my experience is a key in getting it right with your comments on the center channel. Whether the center is two-channel's "phantom" or 3.0/5.0/5.1 MCH's active third channel, optimizing that area so that it's consistent presentation-wise in scale, palpability, and depth of field with what's rendered by the left and right front speakers will determine to a large degree the quality of the imaging you perceive. And to me, that frontal area (whether the center's active or passive) is where the real "wow" factor resides.I'd agree with your comments re SACD's presentation to the extent that on balance its rendering of instruments and voice tends to be more natural in terms of timbral presentation, palpability, and flow. But assuming that you've optimized the frontal presentation, my experience suggests that if the recording and the playback equipment are up to it, you should be able to elicit extremely good imaging from Red Book.
