That's hilarious....this guy needs to "get out" more...first he acts like setting up a surround system is like building the pyramids and then he says there isn't much material out there..just 4 minutes of my life I can't ever get back...
Can we have a link please? I can not find the article with as Google search.
Thank you Brian. I also find it disappointing that there isn't more surround titles out there, especially mainstream stuff. Maybe if the people buying the popular music could hear the surround versions they'd go for it. I like that he does enjoy surround sound and doesn't just put it down as a gimmick. I recently had words on Vinyl Engine when someone asked a quad related question and had a few people just put my views down beacuase I wasn't advocating the norm of 2 channel sound.
McGowan does say that going back to 2-channel after listening to surround is a real letdown, and that he was very impressed with Gus Skinas' surround system.
It is very true that space can be an issue. With all three of my surround systems beginning with the days of quad, I've been fortunate to have a dedicated room. Still, most people should be able to install a modest surround system in their living rooms or dens. My brother-in-law has such a system with small wireless surround speakers and a sub. So no big speakers or unsightly wires going up the walls. It sounds pretty good.
Lack of material? Well, we've been over the reasons for that ad infinitum here.
