"...Furthermore, can the management of the CMS (clear mind state) properties be synchronized or blinded with (bound to?) the context of sonic material that playback plays..."

I chose to remain vague in my previous post (not specifying if the music was recorded or live), but now that you ask...

I am certain that the depth of such an experience (see end of my previous post) is very dependant on the system+room; whether something in the system can bring about a more crystalline state of mind, I don't know, but I have seen more than one unfocused individual (of the sort who navigate in conversation with extreme inefficiency, jumping from subject to unrelated subject) become completely transfixed while listening. In fact I myself only became conscious of this concept of a sort of voyage as a result of the comments of one such individual; prior to that, it was just something that happened while listening... I did not try to name it.

If what we are talking about is a voyage through time and space, it would follow that a system better capable of conveying these two dimensions might promote a sort of free navigation.

I will be very curious to see how this 7th channel manifests itself. Last weekend, rather than starting work on the mid-bass horn, I tried an experiment having as a goal, to make the qualities of time and space more present and navigable in sound reproduction; I didn't like the result, and stopped the test. Later I realized that I had been evaluating the results with two of the horns disconnected, so I will need to do it again.
