You could crack out the stereo as much as you want....But, there’s a very finite limit above which there is no perceivable upgrade, only side-grades, different sonic signatures, repackaged and sold over and over in a different chassis, different color lights and buttons from different guys. It’s a fallacy that an endless amount of sonic upgrades shall be bestowed upon a guy just because he keeps paying up. Such a thing shall never happen.
What Angela Yeung’s describing is actually a very simple and straightforward experiment...no dsp, no complicated prepro with a steep learning curve, no 360 reality, no neural x, no atmos, no auro 3d.......nothing but good ol’ analog stereo, continuing to keep it simple for simple minds, no one’s trying to teach old dogs any new tricks. She’s just talking about adding another stereo pair of speakers sitting behind the listener receiving the same stereo signal that the front speakers got....
Most guys around here have an extra set of preouts on a preamp that’s hooked up to their turntable, i’d assume??
Most guys around here would have an extra set of bookshelf speakers and a poweramp or something catching dust in storage??
Well, put the bookshelf pair straight behind the listening position and hook it up. Flip the phase on them (swap the left/right speaker cables) or not and see what works best. You may need something like a 40 dollar Schiit Sys for a separate level adjustment on the back speaker pair to move the resultant stage depth forward & back, based on what works in the room, that’s it....It’s not surround, it’s not quad....it’s good ol’ stereo and it’s really not complicated.
That may well be true. Nevertheless, I’d rather spend my money on improving the sound quality of the two channels I have than on acquiring more. Each to their own.
