Re: My head is spinning!!!!!!!!!!

I'm with you on this. In my younger days I experimented with one of the first consumer digital rear channel ambience systems (made by company called Audiopulse, anyone remember it?) that hit the market & also, at a different time, worked out my own version of a passive difference channel ambience generation circuit with my all-tube stereo. I must say, that in both cases, after the novelty wore off, the artifacts, detail masking and phase discrepancies that both processing techniques added to the sound stage became increasingly annoying to the point where, after a few weeks, I had no regrets in permanently removing the ambient processing system (This is back when I was using four Chartwell LS3/5 A's for both front channel and ambient speakers).

For movies and broadcast AV material where one seldom becomes as familiar with the sonic nuances, and processing and electronic distortions of all types are typically much greater than for any decent two channel stereo IAC, this acclimization and perception issue doesn't have nearly the chance to take hold.
