Recently I've been thinking about what gives me most listening pleasure. It's simple - it's two channel hi-fi. I've listened to a few five channel set-ups in the last year, just to see if I was missing anything, and the answer is NO. Just like quadraphonic sound in the seventies, it's simply not necessary. If your stereo is properly set up in your listening room you won't improve on it by adding more channels. That's my cloak trailed - anyone want to argue?
