Got it. I like it. grin

I think what I will experience tonight is that a very "realistic" experience can be had when ambience and spacial cues are not room dependent.

I think immersive media formats will lead to not only object steering, but a less demanding relationship between the room and the listener. More speakers will take the place of perfect setup and acoustic optimization, with pretty similar (if not better) results. I would think a system optimized for both immersive setup and acoustics would be surreal.

Nick, you lucky devil.
