I've noticed that some stereo albums have pretty decent separation when played in Regular Matrix on my (non-logic) Pioneer QX4000. To the point where certain instruments play in specific channels. Often drums are at the rear, for instance. Vocals are usually right behind my head, and guitars will change position often.
Is this just a happy circumstance? Or is this by design of the QS/RM decoder? I find if I switch to SQ mode the separation often disappears, although all channels get slightly brighter in SQ mode.
Now, one of the coolest records I have with unintentional quad is the reissue of Funkadelic's "Electric Spanking of War Babies." It sounds great, instruments and voices are in different speakers, and frankly it sounds more discrete than many of my actual quadraphonic albums. Has anyone else had a similar experience with better (logic) equipment?
