In the Thread: 2+3 surround sound??
Post Subject: AdaptationPosted by Paul S on: 7/14/2021
I think I remember James saying that the center channel should be the strongest channel, and if this is the case he might not scrub the full 6 dB from the L+R "sum". James did say the device "corrects" for mistakes embedded in the original, wrongly-conceived stereo signals. I cannot say if this means his device changes the composition of left and right channels as it creates a new center channel. To be honest, I got stuck on this aspect of the design, also on the idea that I'd need another speaker that's better than my present speakers. Reading the only "review" I've seen on this device made me wonder if it really would not work with stereo LPs!

As for 4" - 5" drivers, I am not sure what you're after in terms of sound, but there are better drivers out there again, as long as one avoids the common, overreaching MTM designs that no driver could save. Anyway, I decided to stay with stereo and just build another giant pair of speakers that I hope will flood my room a little better. Spoiler: there will be a cd/horn included (very short and fast, as much a wave guide, but a horn...).
