Hi All,
I'm new to this forum and started reading this useful thread (i'm currently at page 22/32).
I have a very basic question :
What listening mode of the AV receiver do you use for your tests ?
I do not have any multi-channel music recording, only CDs or streaming services, so only 2 channels.
Is there a way to experience a more enveloping sound, with all speakers playing, while still aiming for fidelity and good L-R separation ?
It seems that the 7-channel mode of my denon 3600 is over-processed with additional reverb, so I suspect only the 2-ch stereo mode can be considered real hi-fi.
Have you found a better solution?
Or am I completely wrong when aspiring for multi-channel fidelity out of a 2-channel source ?
Thanks to all the experts spending time to help us progress.
