Immersive Audio and How to Achieve It

@curiousjim

You can get this incredible 13 speaker, 7.2.4 active setup from Focal for about the same price as two of their more luxurious passive tower speakers (where you provide the amps). All you need are stands and balanced cables, save your scratch from buying amps and speaker cables and put it toward a processor and room treatments. Check out the back of speakers too, plate amps give you incredible controls to match the speaker to the room:

@donavabdear 

You have both an active and a passive immersive setup, any thoughts?

@brianlucey 

You are the only member I know that has an analog immersive setup, any thoughts?

@kota1 A. I have 50 ch of analog processing and that is NOT an analog immersive setup. B. There is no contest between stereo and atmos/spatial, they are parallel deliverables, so please leave me out of your agenda :) My stereo speakers are Evolution Acoustics MM3 w Exact filters, Crane Song Avocet monitor controller, Bricasti M1 SE DA, Allnic Audio A-6000 monos. I am all about stereo. Those things are integrated into a 7.1.4 room with more Evolution Acoustics Micro Ones, more M1SE and Parasound A51 x 2. I would not do 7.1.4 without Trinnov.

Thanks Brian, BTW, nice interview re: you and Magic Garden Mastering, noted your request too, thanks for the reply:
