Agreed, the Rapture 3D package is very comprehensive and intuitive, not mention the decoder sounds brilliant! We'll be using it our listening space soon: http://www.callandresponse.org.uk/past.html
As far as arrangement we use 13 speakers - 8 in all four corners and one in the centre of each wall and the ceiling. A nice thing about the system is that you can decode to different arrangements very flexibly. You're welcome to have a listen and a play if you ever make it to London :) On Tue, Nov 4, 2014 at 2:52 PM, Ben Bloomberg <b...@mit.edu> wrote: > We have been experimenting with Richard's product and it's been very useful > and well put-together. > It is probably one of the easiest to configure systems out there at the > moment. > > Ben > > On Tue, Nov 4, 2014 at 6:14 AM, Richard Furse <rich...@muse440.com> wrote: > > > At the risk of marketing (I'm never sure how much is appropriate to send > > here?
