In the Thread: 2+3 surround sound??
Post Subject: 2+3 surround sound??Posted by Romy the Cat on: 7/12/2021
I had a very interesting experience last Sunday. I visited
my local audio guy and had a phenomenal listening session. He is horn guy and
had a good sound in his dedicated room. He is for year playing with surround sound
that I never cared about and mostly listened his 2-channel playback with properly
designed and installed (very seldom happens) 45Hz. So, this time he did another
dive into his surround sound craze but this time it was different result: it
was very good.
It is some kind of new large French processor. I do not know
what kind 3d algorithm sit runs, there are many of them out there but that was
not what impressed me. I was very surprised with the quality of the sound from
that thing: the DACs were way better what is expected from a surround processor.
His lower bass was very interesting as well which is very strange. As the person
who is listening time-alight open baffle for years I can literally laugh about
any bass topology out there. Still, if was very music bass in him room, if the source
was good. He holt me that he used 8 sub-woofers channels with meticulous time align
all of them around the room. Very good idea and very well implemented.
The imaging in the room was beyond spectacular, in fact it
was not imaging but rather sound could and it was very interesting. I have my issues
with some aspect of his implementation but the spacing and imaging the system
does variant him to sell ticket in his room, juts to demonstrate what is possible.
I do not want to render surround model in my own listening room,
but I certainly get some inspiration from what I hear yesterday. I am conceptualizing
2+3 3D model that I might try…
Anyhow, I never felt that my objective was to recreate the same
experiences as people have while they are listening in concert hall, I feel
that it is incorrect objective. Still, if I was having that objective what the
imaging I experiences yesterday was the closest imaging to live sound that I
even experienced in audioRerurn to Romy the Cat's Site
