I dont want to sound like an old fart- but I guess I am. I listen to Bluenote Jazz and Classical music and two channel is just fine for me. I do not want "special effects" or sounds floating from the rear or bass that shakes the wall. I seldom watch television ( much rather read a book). I have tried a dsp but the sound was "phony" to me. My system of Rotel 972 amp, Cambridge Audio 640c dedicated cd player and Axiom m60's sounds great!!
I understand the appeal of the surround/theater sound for those who want that sort of thing- and realize I am in the minority, but there is room for all types of music and listening environments.
I understand also about the benefits of ambient noise, but doesnt my listening room provide ambient qualities from the reflected sound?
I just hope everyone is as pleased with their system, regardless of the number of speakers, as I am with mine.
