Bill, it is not about criticism what I, you, Anthony or anybody else to do but this is a conversation about a concept. Your solution based upon a few compromises, purely conceptually compromises, is that I recognize as a compromises. I'm not insisting that I am right, I just expressed my position on the subject. Digital crossovering is compromise, digital streaming is compromise. Having a playback where they cannot make an assessment of quality of digital to analog converters is it compromise. I'm not saying that the result is bad, I'm just saying it is enclosed package. Trinnov, do not produce one da converters and they did not produce digital interfaces. They sources it from pro market. It is highly possible that is a wonderful but the point that I'm making that using Trinnov ecosystem we cannot make objective judgment about their quality relative to the best stand alone units available out there. If they were able to ride on operation system for thier computer then I do not know why they did not implement it on DA and digital interfaces.
There is also, a big hanging question with your "best stereo". You do have unique room, you do have unique positioning of your mid base horn which is certainly very beneficial for stereo imaging. However, whatever I know how stereo forms, does not explain why purely stereo presentation in your system is absolutely remarkable. Went to know if used only two channels to drive your main speakers then it should produce only normal stereo that you use to have years back as a position of your speakers did not change. You did not have that spectacular stereo imaging in the past. It become to be reality just a few months ago. I do feel that it is possible that this all upgrades you have from Trinnov they started to do some kind of processing of pure stereo signal which complements it and make it much better than it's used to be. The best things about your 2 channel presentation is that is significantly more interesting that is expected from it. I might agree or disagree with various aspects of your sound but as far as stereo imaging with two channels is through it being any explanations. I think your turn off do something sinister. Interesting that when in your room it runs Auro, it has on submerging effect that I do not particularly care, and the magic of your stereo imaging is gone.
It is ironic because I typically advocate reverberation channels as something that will eventually destroyed stereo imaging and replace it with 3D fields. However, I do not like this effect in your system because I personally feel that you're stereo presentation has significantly more potential and more pleasure, at least to me, isn't your surround presentation. I really would like you to humor me and to run your main channels in the pure stereo mode, and then run your surround channels purely for delay channels. I do not know if Trinnov will be able to do it.
I drove my corner horns from main channels of my Denon Auro processor. It was surprisingly much better than I expected but it was inferior to the settings when I drove my corner horns without Auro prepro.
Yes there are many ways to skin a cat. However, purely for theoretical debate and pursuing hypothetical best, I feel there is a one way to do it, and it is what I advocate. Again I advocated purely as theoretical concept, not that I feel that me you or anybody else should pursue it.Rerurn to Romy the Cat's Site
