I don't get this so maybe some one can help me out. I used to listen to music in nothing but surround, but lately I can't stand it anymore. I have been playing around with just 2ch & AFD or rather 2ch with my subs on.
I have found that in 2ch there is much more detail in everything, the sound field seams to be better/wider & just much more pleasing to the ear. I'm really beginning to think that the only thing I liked about using surround with music was just overall volume. But In just 2ch I can get almost as much to maybe even more volume with the benefit of more detail overall. I just always figured that why waste the other channels if they were there.
What I don't understand is how could I have not noticed this before now. Is it just something with age? I have some hearing problems (constant high ringing) & some noises drive me just nuts. I find the TV annoying as hell half the time & find myself turning it up & down all the time.I can't fall asleep half the time from the constant noise I hear. Though I blame myself for most of it as I have been around quite alot of things that can damage you're hearing & never wore hearing protection. Things like loud air tools,race cars,gas turbine engines, factory work, & well um loud music.
But really beside the point I'm beginning to see why there are so many die hard 2ch people out there. It simply just sounds better, well with the exception of SACD, & DVDA.
Anyway I really don't understand what my sudden change is really about. Have any of you other avid 2ch fans been down the same path? I'm in a half drunken stooper so I probley don't make much sense but I thought I'd ask anyway.
