That specific quote is a pile of wombat doo, and you know it. Which your later retraction only goes to prove. Stereo is a FAR more complicated issue, and simplistic posts like that only prove that picking poor arguments to bolster your personal preference (there are WAY too many here that a) don't like the Bose sound, and b) DO prefer to perform in stereo to give you a consensus) only garners scorn.
Express a personal opinion, no problem mate... Try to bolster it with obviously simplistic statements like that, easily shown just plain WRONG, and you deserve whatever you get... (which would have stopped at the first post if you had just gone back and recognized that you DID say words to that effect, rather than try to deny it or explain it away and attack me in the process).
Elitist? I don't give a rats.
(Sorry, been away gigging)
Yes Diki, you've made it very obvious you don't give a rat's about opinions (other than yours) on this matter, every elitist worth his salt does that.
Why don't you quote my entire post elaborating on what I meant?
(Which was)
"Thing is, the Stereo image concept only works if you're sitting in the sweet spot FOH. Move to the left or right, or significantly back from that spot, and you not only lose the Stereo field and any instruments painstakingly panned left or right, you get a biased listening field (too much lead guitar, too much backing vocals, or Strings, or Tambourine (!) or what have you."
Which is far from simplistic and indeed an accurate summation of what happens.
(you can add "IMHO" after that in your own mind if that makes you feel better).
The only simplistic thing around here is your use of the quote editing system.
Before we derail this thread any further (what was the original question again?) I'm going to start a new thread, because there's something else happening here other than Diki's classy tactics.
When I start that thread, you will see, and all are welcome to participate...
P.S. Deserve what I get? What did I get? Not much from what I can tell.
