surround processor?

For your information. I currently have a Lyngdorf headed my way. The 8805 Marantz I’m using is headed to my Sons, but I have a new, sealed, in the box Lexicon MC-10 that I purchased and before taking out of the box moved on to this Lyngdorf. I wanted to try the Lexicon because of Dirac Room Correction. I’m selling it for 2800, which is severely discounted. I’m just looking to move it .. Here is the review ..

How do you like being told surround is crap?

An irrefutable statement like that is unhinged.

Sure, not everyone is going to like home theatre, especially those trapped in the stereo past from last century, but the insistence is dreadful.

Comes across as a god statement.

How many movie theaters have sound only coming from the front?  Not sure what else there is to argue about. 

That's just plain stupid.

Home theaters are based around Dolby surround and any decent modern movie theater should be the same.

An economical way to give surround sound a try is to get the old Dynaco Quadaptor. You hook it up to your power amp's binding posts, and it creates a left minus right (L - R) signal, which is sent to a rear channel amp and speakers. The L - R signal simulates the random phase information contained in recordings made in large spaces (cathedrals, music halls, auditoriums, etc.), primarily in recordings of large ensembles (orchestras, choirs). In addition, some such recordings already contain out-of-phase information.

The Angstrom 200 I mentioned earlier contains L - R circuitry---along with a delay, as well as more sophisticated processing. The 200 also contains a decent DAC and analogue pre-amp. All from the fertile mind of Mike Moffat, and built like a tank (in the "horrible" State of California ;-) .
