Listening to Now (In Surround) - Volume 2

fredblue said:

Thanks.. Wonder if there is any way to repurpose the 6 channels after the fact (via Audacity or somesuch) into something compatible with a conventional 5.1 setup?

Since the album I have features a solo and since this is the only title from that label I own, I won't be trying to solve this anytime soon. Should I get another title with an orchestra, maybe the I'll investigate further.

According to the schematics in the booklet, it implies having another pair of speakers over the front pair. I'll leave that pleasure to others. Six speakers is enough for me.

Having an extra pair of speakers above the fronts sounds awfully redundant to me. The way my Meridian DVD~A 800 works, it has three coaxial cables going from the 800 into my Meridian pre/pro........One coax for the front r/l, 1 for the center/sub channels and 1 for the rear r/l which would seem to be 2+2+2 without the extra front speakers. I do love the MDG sound but like Adam never understood the 2+2+2 configuration. No use 'harping' on it!

Just finished SuperTramp - Breakfast In America on blu ray (sadly, non surround of course) now listening to Roger Shaw's Music for Meditation on BD.

I've heard people say the SACD is better, but I don't have it to compare. The blu ray is real 'punchy', I play it a lot! :upthumb

I so want one!

Is it just me or this album has a "Prince" vibe to it. Check out Edgar's scream in How Do Like Your Love. You'd think it was Prince. I can't wait to hear this one in Multichannel.

Yeah, it gets real bonkers toward the end. Starts out nice n' mellow. Very cool disc.

Ooh yeah! Never heard that vibe in it before, I'll listen to it with you & Prince in mind next time.. musically it's all over the place.. rocky, poppy, jazzy, bluesy, Stevie Wonder-y.. it's all about the surround mix baby! :banana:

Loved it's super surround-y-ness from word go.. but even 100's more Quad mixes later it's still one of the most amazing Quads I've ever heard.. super active (Caution: not for Quaddies who don't like wild 360 degree pans etc.! :yikes )
