    I had a Thomas Edison here at my place for a while. When someone said crank it up it really meant crank it up. It was enjoyable to listen to a piece of history. And it work when the hurricanes knocked out the power too.


    And thats why I think one channel is better than 2
    Please. Please contact me a ben62670 @ yahoo.com. Make sure to include who you are, and you are from Polk so I don't delete your email. Also I am now physically unable to work on any projects. If you need help let these guys know. There are many people who will help if you let them know where you are.
    Thanks

    I did try and try and try and really think than 2 channel is better for music to ME. Sometimes like me the efects from mch BUT the image from the FRONTS is really better. Now, I am thinking buy another amp to another pair of fronts and another SW to FULL the FRONT stage with real 2.1 sound x 2. That is better than bi-amp....I mean bi-amp and bi-speakers and bi-woffer...:D

    AND No surrounds.

    I have that setup on my rig and it works wonders! Dual-amped / Dual speakered, with sub. Sweet sounds!

    Not a big fan of multi-channel here......think I'll slide out now.

    I just read this whole thread, and got a little dis-enheartened. F1nut is a friend of mine and a damn good one at that.

    Instead of confronting him, learn from him! He's a good man, and I thank him for his generosity in helping others seek there own version of audio nirvana.

    Does he get paid to do this. No.

    It's a passion....just be thankful that he is vocal about his knowledge. That is all.

    All this talk of multichannel is making me want to set up an old fashioned mono system. (Thats stereo but without the "added" spatial information, true hard core old school audiophile stuff). Your room and speaker positioning is it. Takes away the mixing tradeoffs completely. I wonder if anyone does this these days?

    I bet Ken S. could comment on this. I'm sure he's familar with this "old school" method.

    I also occasionally listen the Beatles mono mixes. But I somehow don't get the same feeling. It certainly would be something that you'd have to get used to since stereo is so familar.

    I'll start a thread on this when I get a chance. I've listened to mono lps here and there and with my setup and they really suck. I'm sure the system needs to be set up using a totally different mindset than we currently have. I'm getting excited about this new system already! Mono, the final frontier... :)

    How did I miss this thread up to now, I don't know. I would apologize to Tequila for the hijack, but I guess it's too late for that; disculpa hermano ;)

    I am really a new member here compared to the majority, and I've received lots of help from old and new members; I enjoy hanging out here, I do my best to help when I feel I can, I've learned A LOT (only a couple of years into audio), have bought a few bargains, given back a bit, and I really see this place as a family.

    Having said this, I hate when things get rough, specially when people that have been friends get so bitter. I've never met Jesse, but for some weird reason I know he is a great guy, lots of knowledge, and also willing to help out anyone; unfortunately I also think he enjoys being an a$$, and he knows how to do it. I will meet you some day and I'm sure we'll get along, over a beer, rum, or even root beer ;).
    I did meet Mark, just last week, and he is a great guy; from what I remember on my first days on this forum, he also knows how to be an a$$, and also enjoyed being one; it seems that he has taken a different approach now. The one thing that I don't like about Mark is that last Friday when we met he said that he didn't do the chaps on the first date...damn. ;)

    I guess you guys could care less about what I think or say, but it is sad to see these kind of dicussions in the family. Maybe I'm totally wrong and you just enjoy it? Whatever; just my $ 0.02. It's just not cool to see this on the forum.

    Love ya.

    Unless music is recorded in the studio in more than two channels it's only natural to play it through two speakers. If you're playing media that only contains two channels of music and yet you're playing it through five or more speakers, it's up to the processor or receiver to basically make something up and decide how to distribute things. IMO when it comes to listening to music, less is more. Two ears, two channels, two speakers

    Well said!

    Some lp's were recorded in quad but the bulk are two channel

    Surround systems are great for movies but I personally do not like them for music
