Here's a technical discussion that touches on how many speakers you really need, psychoaoustics and a few different things.

If you don't have a wide sweet spot, are you really an audiophile?

Every recording you ever listened to in life went through a whole lotta "processing" before you bought it. Any DAC you've got is "processing". Your turntable setup is immensely colored. If you don't like processing, forget multichannel gear, you should toss all your recordings/2 channel gear as well and go watch live unplugged performances in a good venue (or start singing by yourself like a lark).No it is not processed. What is intended in 2 channel from start to finish is a simacrulum of a performance, either live or simulated. Multi-channel and processed [i.e. bandwidth limited] sound screws with the audio signal to the extent that the original image NO LONGER EXISTS. I once castigated a friend doing an FM Motown retrospective because he ripped all the material rather than playing the discs. I told him that while I loved the music and his show, I could not listen due to the lack of focus. This was over FM which is not a patch on the true system fidelity. He said he had no idea what I was talking about, so I asked him to bring the original CDs and the rips over and we would sync them up and listen. He said he was astounded at how badly the 192k rips compared, BUT I was the only one who complained! SO, while some drink CharBux, no serious cafficianado would ever mistake it for coffee. Ditto 5.2.2 Atmos for HiFi. |
Dear @deep_333 : " I choose to move on. " Yes because your targets/priorities are different. Oranges has its own characteristics/advantages and disadvantages and apples too but both are way different. Some of us like more an apple than an orange but this fact does not means that apple ( multichannel. ) is superior to orange ( stereo. ). The forums as Agon it’s not to see which win and which one beated and you want to win and this is your misunderstood because a forum is a place to share experiences with other gentlemans where those experiences could be or could helps to some one of us and for others gentlemans could helps to confirm what we already know, no one lost and every body ( some way or the other ) win. Btw, for two way different targets exist two differentiaded solutions: multichannel solution for you and stereo for some of us. That is all about. @ieales posts explain it very well. R. |
Not surprised the Vandersteen did not work with your Wilson speakers because every other driver is out of phase with each other. All Vandersteen centers are time and phase correct therefore all drivers are in phase. Regardless which design one prefers this combination would be a mess and not require any super analysis to know. |
