Ken, I read a little bit of it of the paper you linked to and it is very informative. I singled out some interesting things from the few pages I read:
- Room modes are important
- Reverberation gives impression of spaciousness
- Center channel is not just a sum of right+left in 5x2x5 as described
- L7 "decides" whether the recording is surround or not and determines the volume of the rears depending on that. It is supposed to be a user-adjustable setting and they actually called it "correction"
- Power ratio of center to left and right should be 1:2 when all 3 are driven by the same signal... or not
Looks like I need to read this more thoroughly... this is off topic anyway. I am printing it now.
Overall the MS8 was a nice introduction to acoustics, but it is not giving me the sound that I want and it doesnt provide enough options for customization for me.
Would you recommend waiting for the DSP8 or getting a Bit.One? I hear the latter had lots of issues and I wonder if they have been resolved. I also think the DSP8 is going to be what, $1500?
