Re: for all you high end surround heads out there

Fascinating thread, guys, keep it up! I generally agree with Bernie's
concept that when we capture natural sounds with microphones and
recording devices, and subsequently play them back in some other
environment, we've altered (and time-shifted) reality to such an extent
that what remains can only be called an illusion. I've also figured, up
until now, that since we have two ears, not 5.1, stereo is sufficient.
But what Lang is trying to describe to us here is making perfect sense
to me. This is the first time ever that I have not dismissed the notion
of "surround sound" with a disrespectful sniff.
