RE: What about Quadraphonic sound?

Posted by JohanV on June 7, 2011 at 12:39:07:
Consumer electronics are marketing driven and so in the old days they came up with the quadraphonic sound, which was not a success. Now the marketing folks have introduced the multi-channel sound with mixed results. Companies as Accuphase are focused on stereo and for good reason. The price/performance ratio is much better of a stereo system and if you want a high-end MCH system, it will raise the cost and complexity of the system. Only the cheap AV systems are a success but not the expensive high-end MCH systems.
