I could not agree more,to get the true benefit you have to be sitting right in the sweet spot of all speakers,as soon as you move of axis you lose part of the overall image.
No Audiophile would never listen to music sitting to one side,the same goes for HT,it is made for one viewer.

I think there is a reason that people who are into multichannel sound seem to always have their setup in the basement or spare room. It doesn't work in a normal living room where traffic patterns and furniture placement can't be dictated by the acoustic requirements. This is typical for a lot of technology. It seems that many engineers seem to think that people should alter their living patterns to make it easy for the product, rather than design products to fit within real life situations. |
