On-the-fly, not referring to conversions.
Maybe I missed "the" thread, or most surround freaks simply aren't impressed by surround synthesis.
I've been running all mono/stereo sources through surround processing for years and love it - maybe it's just hard for me to understand that's not always the case. A question of priorities perhaps, and most surround fans spend their time with discreet media? Still amazed that people that are new to surround aren't at least curious. You don't have to be in this hobby long to grasp how little is released in a discreet format.
I'd especially like to know about the new gear, I mean are the Tate, Audiosonics, Vario-Matrix, (other?) still the best, I mean really?? Hard to believe but maybe there was no demand (as perceived by manufacturers, anyway) so no development, regardless of tech advancements in the decades since those were released

Anyway, I'm not in the position to test new audio gear (much less the high-end stuff) but have always been curious about this.
