What a drag! Beeing a traditional home theatre user, I naturally placed my surround speakers ABOVE ear level.
Now, having fallen in love with multi-channel SACD, too, I realize I find myself in a tough dilemma.
Listening to multi-channel SACD recordings I now constantly notice - especially if the SACD content provider intended the musical instruments to surround me - that instruments from the surrounding angles are noticably placed higher 8O
While this is a logical conclusion, it doesn't help the problem :cry:
What's the solution? To use a Y-RCA cable outgoing from my Rotel RSP-1098, plug it into power amps that can alternately be switched and get myself two extra surround speakers which I place at ear level?
While I feel the future for SACD doesn't look to bright (see my "Open letter to the SACD industry") it seems like a no-brainer of attempting a collision course with home theatre, the Titanic might just as well think it had the advantage over the iceberg...
Somebody willing to tear the rudder around?
