Pick your poison...2-channel or multi?

"Secondly, while Trifield and DPLII are nice and have it's own merits, however it's not necessary better than pure 2 ch stereo.
- Trifield/DPLII provide great imaging effect and sense of filling the space.
- Stereo feels more natural and smooth."

That statement is completely opposite of my experience.

Have you customized your trifields for differnt types of music?

If your 2 channel sounds more natural than the triield, change the trifield setting until they sound the same as your 2 channel sound....but it weill never go that far

What I don't understand is the same guy who will put his speaker cables on stilts, have some high school drop out put tubes in his DVD player etc and it never occurs to them to maybe play with the levels/ distances the treble and bass to make the processor sound the way they want.
eandy my Meridian has 8 different trifeild setting to match the scale of the music I'm listening too, this way there's no way 2 channel can sound more natural. The parameters are adjustable for a reason, you can make trifield sound just like two channel if you wanted to, I actually can mimick other systems by fine tuning the adjustments. Keeep digging my friend, its a new type of system, you must learn new ways to adjust it.

Eandylee - would you be willing to be walked through the process to better enhance your MC system?

It seems as if you have a good grasp of things, but there could be more potential to bring out of it; which could sway you opinion to the other side.

No long drawn out process, just a little extra help. And it won't cost you a dime. You keep your own equipment. Sounds like something that would interest you?

gentlemen: how many channels does live, unamplified music have ?

let's trade in our stereo systems for concert tickets.

Don't quite your day job CeeDee!

McGrogan,

When you admit to not being able to setup your surround system properly nor having it work for months, it is a bit disingenuous to blame surround sound for this issue.

The fact you couldn't get your center speaker to blend is not surround sounds fault nor is it indicative of surround sound.

What it characterizes is poor setup or simply the speaker you chose for a center channel was poorly designed or matched to your left and right speaker.

I hope after all these discussion you don't think my surround system sounded anything like yours? When you take the time to research and buy appropriate speakers and get your center channel to blend such that your three speakers image better than two speakers. Then you are on my level, until you do that...something very possible, Then you're making progress toward what one of my systems sound like.

Perfect image...I have had hundreds of people listen and agree.

Do it on your HT, it only makes the movies that much better.
