because they want you to buy an external DSP so there are no noises in your source //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

your ears can detect direction, they cannot (accuratly) detect distance.

Not enough room for the DSP chips? Too much heat? Too much noise?

T/A is not that important until you consider the confines of your car. Unless you can get all your drivers within inches of each other to eliminate PLD's, then it's perfectly legit.

Also, a balanced stereophonic center requires a certain vector and amount of crosstalk - good luck getting that sweet spot in a little tiny room surrounded by glass where you sit way over on one side of it....with silly T/A at your disposal or not.

your ears can detect direction, they cannot (accuratly) detect distance.

Your ears detect distance in much the same way your eyes perceive depth. Have you ever noticed when you hear a sound coming from a certain direction and want to get a better feel for where it is, you turn your ear toward that sound? You can gauge distance by the difference in time it takes for the sound to go from the ear you pointed towards the sound to the ear you pointed away from the sound. Like you said, it's not extremely accurate, but it's something.

This is a big factor with your car stereo. Since you have one speaker on each side of your head, and the sound reaching your ears at different times, that causes your stereo image to be skewed, which is where TA comes in.

And a useless post from you unless you care to point out all the "misinfo" here. Just keep your mouth shut if you don't have anything to back up what you're saying.
