Can anyone give details on some multi-channel thoughts/purpose?


What are the advantages of 5:1, 7:1, 9:2 as far as being like a live music performance  or are they of more use with movies?

You are implying that my column stopped because there was nothing to write about and that would be incorrect.  I decided to stop writing the column to avoid the pressure of the calendar now that I am retired.  My enthusiasm for the topic has not diminished.  
Hold on....

That I did not know.

Glad to hear it!! I'm always happy to know of any audiophile who sticks to their passion.  I thought you were still writing for Stereophile just not in that column.

Since you are much more experienced, where do you think multi-channel music is and where will it go?

Best to you,

1.  I am still writing for Stereophile but without the constraint of a deadline every 60 days.

2.  I think it will continue as it is and, possibly, gain better market penetration as home theater technology advances and enables audio-only options as corollary.
