1st Post Intro & Ramblings

Dude you have shown you are Bestbuy installer level with your info.  You patted yourself on the back 10 times for parroting other info available in a 1000 places on the web and left out wickedly critical parts and probably don't even know the basis for most of it. Give it a rest.  No one is calling you when their studio does not sound right.

Ok, I know nothing. In the last 20 plus years, in and out of people’s homes either working or buying something. If I see a quality setup I will try and get a chance to listen. If I am working and need to move there equipment, we tape around the location of the equipment and take pictures and measurements. What do I have? Equilateral triangle. I sit in the sweet spot and hear everything you said stereo cannot do. My bestbuy knowledge is still equal to what the manufacture of the product said. I also said in post 1, many of the homes I have been to are members here. It surprises me how many systems are no where near correct, that is why I started with a basic, blue collar mindset. But you have given nothing but noise. Is there a science behind it? No explanation of that question will be in this thread because of what I said 3 sentences ago. Conventional wisdom vs you? I’m sorry but what you are talking about goes way beyond what was going on in here, but jumping in a thread and trying to sound like you are they mit engineer.

Where is the image of a mono material in the home theater (surround, many speakers, etc.) setting? Is it right in the middle of the room, or somewhere else? Does it feel like headphones?

Mono channels do not project an image, singular source 

Center and surround channels are not exclusively "mono" like they once were but image with other speakers in the system to provide a more immersive audio experience.
