Very few classical labels completely immerse the listener in the sound field--mostly 2L and Tacet. A few do tend to have too much direct sound in the rear channels--makes the imaging rather diffuse and vague, while still others have very little signal in the rear channels. I do, however, think that solo pipe organ and choral music might sound better in m-ch, so I'll use the full system for those recordings.

Indeed, I don't care for that either but the fault lies not with the medium but with the producer who misapplied the options available. Fortunately, for me, this phenomenon is very rare in classical multichannel.

Multi Channel Sucks
Or at least, it must suck, because I don't have one . . . and like most folks, I do tend to knock things I don't have, or that I don't know very much about. Therefore: Multi Channel Sucks .

Haha. Well, with stereo gear as nice as yours, I can't imagine forsaking it for M-ch!

I gotta say, after hassling with getting stereo imaging perfect, I really appreciate a great 3 chan setup!
Especially for multiple listeners! |

I guess I am a 2 channel guy. The definition is better, though I have not invested in a TOLL multi channel rig. FWIW
