i thought I was "peccavi in disguise", oy vay, maybe anyone who started on this thread after him....
Anywho, I like bi-polars, though don't use them now in any of my systems. I will sum up the arguement for them by saying that natural sound from live acoustic instruments does not radiate in one direction, but rather reflects early of walls to the sides and rear of the instruments, yet I rarely hear people refer to acoustic sound off a live stage as muddy .
pinpoint imaging is nice in my family room , but an artificial construct of a stereo mixdown, I like the wide ,deep stage and huge sweetspot.
