I see your room, love your system. When I look at the pictures two things come to mind (for me, but you won’t likely agree), the big TV and speakers SCREAM "give me a center channel" and the ceiling screams acoustic cloud. However, that is me :).
Immersive Audio and How to Achieve It
100% of music listeners prefer live music to recorded playback, why? A live performance "immerses" you and frees you up to move around the room, the dance floor and still be immersed. The goal posts have moved away from two speakers to an array of speakers all around as well as above you to reproduce the illusion of a LIVE performance. Why, in 2023, would anyone voluntarily use only two speakers to recreate this illusion of a live performance in a large room?
Even the artists themselves are using immersive audio in concert to WOW their audience, why not do it at home:

Perfect, you will be very astounded...Read about Choueri , it is really a genius in audio...
For the headphone, you will not like it... This is an old headphone, AKG K340 , he aged not well... And i make modifications to it...But you can buy it for peanuts then , dont be angry at me if you dont like it... 😁 For me it is my favorite... And i did not like it so much the first day... It takes me 6 months to optimize it... buy a contemporary headphone , a top one.... budget seems not for you a problem as it is for me... 😊 By the way i take a plunge, and buy the microzotl 2 as pre-amp for my Sansui AU 7700 to serve my headphone...

It is better if you read what it is first...
Read that and you could decide after ..

This discovery eclipse all other audio gear news...Because it is an application of fundamental acoustic , not a new electrical gear design for a mere dac or multichannels etc ... But very vew people spoke about it in audio forums...

@kota1 I don’t disagree with you at all. The sound cloud would of course help and the center speaker would be great also. What you just dont seem to take into consideration is that everyone’s system is designed by them for them and their intended use or familes use. Your ideas are great for someone who wants the same thing as you but not so great for others. I could have a dedicated sound room and an Atmos system if I wanted one, but my intent with my system is to integrate it into our daily lives. Its a family room ,and as such its where all thing’s family take place and most of the time there is music involved. TV,s not even connected to the music system at all , theres a modest sound bar mounted underneath. Everythings thought out for us , and so as is the way with one size fits all things ,compromise is necessary. Im not trying to be a Richard but seems to me that there’s gotta be boards out there where the members have interests more in line with yours. I’ve only been a member and posting here for a few years even though Id snoop around sometimes before that, but I always thought Agon was just a for dinosaurs old school two channel forum, of course I could be mistaken and apologize if so.Your ideas are great I’m sure for people interested in exactly the same things you are, and this dinosaurs not interested in the consumer electronics industries latest iteration of Qudraphonic, did that already back in the late 70,s btw. |
