Re: Please don't misunderstand me....

Howdy

I'll argue a little with you about "multichannel audio should've presented itself as 6 speakers arranged in a semi-circle in front of the listener..."

There's more than one kind of music and I value the contributions of music/ambiance from the rear on many recordings whether it's a simple acoustic recording or a high tech extravaganza. Without the rears much of the feeling of being there is gone.

On the other hand four five or six channels (with at least two in the front, two in the back...) already taxes the delivery media tho I'm sure that will change, but not quickly.

Three speakers in the front gets most of what you'd get from six at 1/2 the cost of everything.
