In the Thread: 2+3 surround sound??
Post Subject: Well....Posted by Romy the Cat on: 7/19/2021
I think to call what Bill made as surround sound is make huge the service not only to the concept but to ourselfs. I wrote quite extended review of my thoughts on the subject and I was about to publish it but it is not in the computer that I have access now. I care less about surround and unfortunately surround sound is the only vocabulary that we have. I don't know if it was Bill's objective but I was not impressed with the surroundness of his sound but I was hugely impressed but surrounding of his space. Rowuk, sad that he is a trumpet so ask him how he's trumpet sound in closet. In reality whatever we do in out there is very much closeted sound and acoustically in order to have proper acoustic harmonic balance we need to have a reverberation time over 1.5 seconds. Even those of us who have large listening rooms let's say 600 to 1200 ft we not even remotely close to 1 second of reverberation time. What is the most beautiful thing that Bill did, besides that time alignment about which I will be posting later, voice acoustically extending the dimension of his listening space. I wrote quite detail analysis what I think is going on, I will post it later. You my question methods he choose to implement it but there is no doubt of my mind that this direction is hugely, hugely beneficial. There is another side of that medal. If Bill or anybody else did have 10k-15k listening room then to make a playback to sound in that environment at the high quality would be astonishingly difficult. The best results people in those rooms do by designing acoustic Islands and make literally near feald listening in huge rooms, or play outside. And then we got hit by a thousand other problems, like terminal distortions in high power amplification and many others.Rerurn to Romy the Cat's Site
