I think you might find that this lost sense of spaciousness (IACC) is attributable to 60-degree stereophony. Three-speaker stereophony (Trifield decoded) with the left/right loudspeakers subtending a 90 degree arc does not suffer from a lack of spaciousness thus obviating the need to create artificial spaciousness a la spaced-omnis in order to compensate for 60-degree stereophony. _______________________________________________ Sursound mailing list Sursound@music.vt.edu https://mail.music.vt.edu/mailman/listinfo/sursound
