AF Quad Titles Definitely NOT Happening
I have been thinking about creating this thread for awhile, and I know some of the info exists in other threads, but since someone has now specifically requested this:
I now hereby open a thread where we can all contribute what we know about quad titles which seem unlikely for Audio Fidelity, or in some cases for any release by anyone. Please post titles below and please include a category
such as the ones listed below as to WHY the title may not be forthcoming. Feel free to create a new category. I will try to summarize the posts on this first page from time to time. It will then become easier to see what is eligible
for release.
I am posting this in the general "Rumor Mill - Rumblings in surround" area since some of this information will be relevant beyond the Audio Fidelity series.
This thread should not be considered a definitive word on any title, and in fact I hope all these titles see release one day. This is simply meant to condense some of the discussions elsewhere on QQ so we can either focus our
energies elsewhere or possibly help to overcome the challenges presented. One of the threads that provided much of this information is here:
