Hi Grant,
Thanks for info. I guess the reason why I like the idea of MS is the more
focused centre mike supported by adjustable stereo ambiance from the sides. I
could even imagine a mono parabolic centre with side ambience support. But
whatever system I use I'll make a wind protector (lots of good ideas in the
archives) - I've already got one of the Indian blimps for more mobile listening.
