I guess there's room for some experimentation here (unless I missed folks doing 
the obvious earlier)

Compare recordings with M &S aligned with different precision. How bad does it 
have to be before you can hear the difference? Or measure the difference? And 
what are the advantages of centering them vertically as opposed to horizontally?

I only did  few M/S tests before deciding that generally I liked my microphones 
separated a bit. (And I could well have missed something.)

Could someone w/ a 4-track run several simultaneous M/S recordings? That'd be 
informative.

Cheers!
