I listen to a holographic 2-channel system

gjg,

Your quote referring to my experiences:
------------------------------------------------------------
"You have obviously never heard a well set up, high end two channel system."
-------------------------------------------------------------

Guess I'll have to dispute that unfounded claim, as I get an absolutely phenomenal two channel holographic sound stage with my equipment. Of course this ultimately depends on how well the 2-channel recording was mastered.


Your quote describing two channel holographic sound stage:
--------------------------------------------------------------------
"The instruments are in the room, in their own three dimensional space (both in front of and behind the plane of the speakers)."
--------------------------------------------------------------------

You are correct and I agree. I can hear a female vocalist 6 feet in front of me wetting her lips (1 foot out in front of my main's speaker plane), her voice originating from a mic 5 feet high, with various instruments supporting her up to 12 feet or more directly behind her as well as to the left and right.

So as you can tell, I have experienced as you said, "a well set up, high end two channel system."


To re-interate what I did say, you cannot CORRECTLY experience the 3D holographic soundstage created by the director on a 5.1 DD/DTS DVD media with a two-channel playback system.

I never said the two-channel playback system didn't produce good, even holographic type sound, simply that it did NOT recreate the director's intented 3D soundscape.
