How can you not have multichannel system

Ummm...when acts like the Stones and Radiohead introduce "surround sound" as part of their live shows, I'll invest in multichannel.

All live events are in "surround sound" unless produced in an anechoic chamber or infinite flat meadow.

I see your point, Kal. What I was getting at was that most live shows do not have dedicated surround channels via speaker banks behind and around the audience.

Your comment makes no sense. If a concert had those speaker banks behind and around the audience, it would be a chaotic experience. You cannot take the scenario and reproduce it in the a/v room and say its the same.

That is true but, at home, you need those dedicated surround channels to reproduce the proper ambiance from that live show.

I have operated a four speaker stereo system
for years (2 Mcintosh amps, four speakers, one sub
Meridian cd player).

I have had so many people listen to a multi-channel sytem,
then listen to mine and always ask why music sounded so much better on mine.

IT"S FOR MUSIC and not just a couple of cd's.
