Where is the Multichannel Music at?


Hey everyone, so what multichannel music have you enjoyed lately and how did you get it? Stream? Bluray?

Netflix?

“So are all my favoite artists available on Atmos? And where do I find a high end 5 channel SET?“
@carlsbad

I don’t know your favorite artists so I can speak to that. How we choose to listen, is a personal preference. You seem to be more focused on gear than music. I equally enjoy music on my two channel as well as multichannel systems. The multichannel music especially live concerts are just as immersive through my modest $2K multichannel system as my Qobuz / local files streaming through my 2-channel system which is well north of $100k.

IMHO, Music recorded in Multichannel format is a different beast altogether. I wouldn’t speak of it in same breath or manner as one experience Movies through a HT receiver.

My HT is the latest generation Anthem (minus the 8k upgrade I haven't gotten yet).  I'm not at a loss for decoding equipment but I just don't really think of music and surround in the same breath. 

BTW, I was involved in motion picture sound equipment manufacturing, operations and installations all the way back to the days of Stop Making Sense and Purple Rain, and I have a number of immersive music DVDs and Bluray disks.  I just don't really pull them out nearly as often as I stream fro Qobuz or Tidal or listen to Jazz.FM

+1, I was in your shoes, then I ripped them to my NAS and got a Zidoo. The Zidoo puts all the concert disc covers up on the screen like a poster wall. Then I set it to output Dolby Vision (which works with any HDR compatible device). Now I'm playing them on the fly instead of digging through my stash:

I bought a Anthem MRX540 HT receiver exactly a year ago. At that time, they were hard to find and I had to pay retail, $1699. Now Anthem is showing $1899 retail and offering it "on sale" for $1615. Convenient inflation I say!

  

@kota1,

Any chance for a listen … thee opportunity to sit down and spend some quality time with “The Eagles Farewell Tour?” Or are you gonna continue wasting all them precious man hours / man powers defending that there fortress of yours from “The Evil Emperor Zurg.”
