[QUOTE="Paul Johnson, post: 217760, member: 2643"] Not offended in any sensible way - but If when you say I'm not open to anything different, you mean weird stuff, I'm quite OK with that - but stereo field, or possible extension to 4 channel is OK, but stereo field collapses once multiple sources combine. What I mean is that if you do an in the round presentation, and I've worked in both music and acting in the round productions for a very long time - First I think probably 76 - stereo as in a sound field with close eyes locational info goes horrible wrong once L becomes R and R becomes L, as not does in a simple 4 speakers at 90 degrees around the circle. One person's right is somebody else's left and so on, and while for effect it works - so having an instrument in one and not in the next is valid. It's not stereo though. Multiple speakers, in my humble view are not capable of creating a conventional stereo field. In the absence of any request context, or explanation, I'll leave you to it. I was mystified when you said I could do this with my system? So your drawings with many hanging flown arrays are not what you are planning? I suppose I could indeed put 8 in a circle facing out, and if I use each one separately, I could send anything to anywhere in the circle - but what would the point be. In 1996 or maybe 97 I remember Phil collins doing an in the round show, and remember clearly it being virtually mono. The drums were definitely panned though so the tom fills and things like that were definitely moving, but I remember thinking they were reversed left to right. never thought more about it till now.
