| Re: Seduced By Surround, Saved By Stereo
Wayne - I've never heard the Yamaha set up you're describing but it sounds interesting.
Back when I was playing around with Dolby Pro Logic II Music, I was especially impressed by a track off DJ Shadow's Private Press album. It has a minute of circular pans that the DPLII really spun around my head. Later, after I'd upgraded to my Vandersteen 1c speakers I listened to the same track in 2 ch stereo and got almost the same circular panning effect. Stereo can be amazing and immersive with the right speaker setup and recordings.
Anyone else have any recordings that can envelop the listener to the point that you think you have surround channels active?
