Re: listen to music in surrround sound
I love surround for films where you've got things happening all around you (the battle scenes in Star Wars for example), but for music I find it a bit pointless; I don't go to a concert and sit on the stage. For general listening I stick with stereo. On the other hand, listen in mono and it sounds good where-ever you are in the room! :-) -- rgds LAurence ...A book worth banning is a book worth reading ---Taglines by Tagzilla (tagzilla.mozdev.org)

Re: listen to music in surrround sound
In which case either 2 things will happen depending on how the user has set things up. Either the CD player will play through left and right channels - stereo - or it will be played using a simulated surround-sound mode using the Digital Signal Processor of the surround sound unit, in other words if your system is going to be used for music then a Surround sound system is most likely not your style.

It costs $300. I saw one briefly last evening at the Verizon store, as I was purchasing my new iPhone and was pretty impressed with the sound, given the size of the box. I really haven't looked all that much in to this sort of speaker. I have an older dock that works with the older style iPhone connectors, and it really sounds pretty good, but my better half has sort of taken it over for use in his class-room. So I'd like to know from those who have experienced this equipment, what did you think, and are there other units you'd recommend as good competition? I like the size and the volume and depth of sound, but am not thrilled with the $300 price tag, naturally.

Re: listen to music in surrround sound
Ah, I see where you're coming from. Well an audiophile has never - to my knowledge at any rate - said there wasn't or isn't a choice, the only point most make is that Surround-Sound gear is not really the type of stuff for the lovers of good music and as I said earlier, the consumer can buy something that sounds very good in stereo for the price of a cheap surround-sound system so I take the point and the choice is yours.

Re: listen to music in surrround sound
Well the first system was a Pioneer. Then when digital came out, I decided on an Onkyo. It seems like systems I've cost around $300, U.S. for these. - Original Message - From: Dane Trethowan grtd...@internode.on.net To: PC Audio Discussion List pc-audio@pc-audio.org Sent: Monday, May 26, 2014 5:53 PM Subject: Re: listen to music in surrround sound Ah, I see where you're coming from.
