Digital room conditioning. The room is half the battle and I beleive we will be able to adjust for room dimensions while the signal is still in the digital domain.
Science Fiction Time ?
OK you budding H.G. Wells and Jules Verne types. What is the next great quantum leap in audio. I'm not talking about refinements of existing technology. Two catagories...1) inventions. (Mechanical to electronic amplification, tubes to transistors, analog to digital, etc.) A system just starting to get a foothold that will esentially replace existing technology for the mass consumer market (CD'S over vinyl, cassettes over 8-track, or DVD over Laser Disc). I'll post some thoughts of my own, later! Happy Tunes!
