Why don't you try to explain what you meant, this way we'll know for sure whether I would or wouldn't "get it". I've articualted my position; it shouldn't be so hard to explain your's.

Thanx,
Sanjay

Maybe I am missing the point, what is so great about PLIIx? I kept reading all the hype about PLII and couldn't wait to hear my cds again, but after a while I grew bored with it and am back listenting to them in stereo, (sorry, didn't mean to use the "S" word). Now we are going to generate two more channels in back, for what purpose? I love technology, and am glad for the experimenting, (keeps Dolby Labs in business), but what is the significance of this "advance?" If the musicians want sound in seven seperate channels because of its artistic significance, then I am all for a supporting format. But to just convert a two channel source, I am not interested.

Speaking of which, I just added some to my home theater. Took me a while to get the levels correct, but now that I have, they do add a little more gutteral feel to bass.

But at least you tried it. Just as you grew bored after a while, certainly there were some people who had the opposite reaction: the more they listened, the more they enjoyed. People are moving from 5.1 to 7.1 systems, so PLII was expanded from 5 to 7 playback channels. Dolby responded to a growing market; simple as that. Right. So it's not that you're missing the point; i.e, you understand why it was done but you simply aren't interested in this technology. Fair enough: people who don't like coffee may see the point of why Starbucks introduces a new flavours, but it doesn't mean they're personally interested.

Best,
Sanjay

Jeff, Anything's better than those jumping beans you glued to the bottom of your chair. BTW, which output are you using: sub or LFE?

Sanjay

It wouldn't be too hard to explain, I'm just afraid it would be hard for your to comprehend. Sorry...

For the record, the point was both glaringly evident and elegantly stated.

To me (and every single musician I know), PLII, and any extensions thereof, are only about shelf space.

And that has what to do with Hollywood making good movies? Since it's glaringly evident, please explain the connection (since Soundhound is unable to).

Thanx,
Sanjay

I didn't say I was unable to explain it - I said that you ware unable to comprehend it. If you haven't figured it out by now, I would move on to another subject.

You don't have to say it; your dodging of the question makes it glaringly obvious.
