You could be right, what I have heard as long as I can remember is that MS=
gave a true monosignal to mono Tv sets - still stereo to the ones with
stereo - and that that was the whole point with it. Then it is another
thing that you sometimes happen to like the kind of stereo you get. I'm not=
very happy with MS. When I listen to it, regardless of how - headphones or=
speakers - I get no feeling for the ambience. I'm not "there" as with
Blumline, for speakers / and binaural, for headphones.
