Anyone HEARD the qol 'signal completion' device?

Setonaudio, not sure I fully understand your post. I agree that audio engineers fix the stereo perspective and wet/dry balance of mixes and that there are now devices/processors available to the listener that can further manipulate these elements. My point about QOL being an M/S processor is that it allows comparisons to other M/S processors regarding effectiveness and value. For instance, the SPL M/S Master offers studio quality performance and control flexibility for approximately $2,000. At the other end of the price spectrum is the $50 PSP SterePack DSP plug-ins. Is the QOL better than these other products? I have no idea. But at least interested people can make a comparison without being held back by the idea that what the QOL accomplishes is only available from BSG.

Douglas, I disagree with your assessment of the Qol.
Just because you did a review in one of the on line rags of an unrelated item does not mean your opinion is the only opinion. It is still only your opinion.

Perhaps the unit you tested was defective. Which dealer did you get yours from to demo?
I would like to see if I can also try that unit and compare it to mine.

All you are saying is that more is less. That line we all agree. But, does a subwoofer help in a quality system? Does Biwiring help? How about NOS Tubes?
Or a particular Power cord, dedicated circuits all of these help create the sound we appreciate?

You are merely stating your opinion not fact. I suspect you did't even try one. Who was the dealer?

I personally find the Qol to increase clarity and definition, just the opposite of what you stated.
Perhaps, you have your speakers wired out of phase.

I owned the Legacy Focus and I preferred them over the Whisper's that I believe you now own. The Whisper had a narrow sound stage and a strange bass quality. But again that is my opinion.

Don't discredit an item just because you have to add another set of interconnect cables.

Ozzy, I take it you didn't like my assessment? That's ok, you're entitled to your opinion as well. :)

Sadly, careless insinuations like, "I suspect you didn't even try one," end up hurting you, not me. I typically work with manufacturers directly, not dealers. I could, if I wished, provide copies of both the delivery and return of the unit, but I don't care to provide you with personal information. If you don't believe me, so be it.

What's ironic about your post is that we also disagree on the Legacy Focus vs. the Legacy Whisper. If I were to take your approach to disagreement I might insinuate that you have never owned the Focus, for surely no one could come to such a conclusion if they had! But that would be a bit callow, wouldn't it?

Finally, perhaps you meant to say "discount" in your last line, verses your word selection of "discredit." If I wished to discredit QOL my posts would have been quite different. :)

Ozzy,

Douglas_schroeder stated:

"I conducted my assessment of QOL in my own room with multiple systems."

You state:

"I suspect you did't [sic] even try one."

What's up here? If you don't like someone's opinion then just say so. If you make this kind of inane statement then you open yourself up to having others say the same thing about you.

Douglas_schroeder, your comments are spot-on. Ozzy's reasoning is skewed and contradictory.

First he states:

"All you are saying is that more is less. That line we all agree."

Then he states:

"Don't discredit an item just because you have to add another set of interconnect cables."

In effect, he is saying "more is less" -- then is saying "more is more".

It looks like you hit a nerve. Disagreement is fair game. But Ozzy's use of the word "discredit" is clearly inappropriate. This is an attempt to discredit you by turning your observations and opinions into a personal matter.
