Immersive audio is the new thing. Artists that hear it, want their catalogues remixed in immersive. Holographic stereo is still the goal with 2-channel, and it’s still a good goal. But immersive Atmos upmixed music is beyond holographic. It just has an energy and umph that is hard to contend with. I love my AVR and streaming, but I’m building a 2-channel for my teenager and his growing vinyl collection. New tonearm came in the mail today and the McIntosh MA5200 came last night. Decided to add a streaming option as well, and maybe a CD player too. It will be in addition to, rather than instead of.
Interest in 2-channel/stereo audio and prices here and other sites
Simply open wonderment and what I have seen/noticed. With some of the brands I have owned and tracked, I saw the interest in 2 channel music audio fade with the multi channel video growth and now it seems prices for some classic 2 channel audio products are on the rise. Not making any statement other than the sound of live music vs. artificial multi channel/nothing like live music.
Have any of you bit the "surround sound" bug only to go back to two channel music?
