In the Thread: Two channels (tweeter and woofer) = a miserable evil?
Post Subject: A Matter of Degree?Posted by Paul S on: 1/9/2025
Here I am again with the idea that any topology might be made to sound better or worse by "degrees". As I have shared, I have a hard time with the idea that DPoLS alone can totally cancel out/obviate all topological differences and/or limitations, but if it does, then it must mean stereo vs. multi-channel (or mono...) becomes moot, as well. And, if so, why focus ones efforts on anything but achieving DPoLS? Talk about Bang for the Buck! I have made it my own business to try to get complex Music from a 2-channel system, even though I was getting "sonic benefits" from a center channel before I dropped that approach, because I could not see/hear a topological path forward that did not significantly compromise my main, stereo channels, and I never figured out how to get past that. For now, I have a lot of viable sonic information available to me via tweaked, powerful stereo that encourages me to listen to and involve myself closely with Big Complex Music, not to mention it also brings me "more" from any Music I want to listen to. Does this mean I am "close to DPoLS", if there is such a thing? I can understand the idea of getting more from a given topology, but I have no idea if or how DPoLS "overcomes topological limitations". If to speak in terms of negatives, a poorly implemented multi-channel system sounds at least as bad as any poorly implemented stereo system. Can there be better or worse implementations of either genre? I say yes, of course. I await the summary judgement of DPoLS with bated breath.
