[QUOTE="audioholic, post: 4247846, member: 549629"] Random thoughts about this thread. The vast majority of popular music is recorded in 2 channels, not 4. Therefore if nothing else, we can agree that rear-fill, in any form, is a bandaide. A properly set up front stage will immerse you in the sound, rendering rear-fill obsolete. The average person is ignorant of, or unwilling to put in the effort to build a properly set up front stage... namely speaker positioning. Rear speakers, or even rear-fill, are a quick and easy fix, that.... almost gets it 'right', so its generally considered necessary. Rendered necessary to such an extent that most people do not even know about the proper methods. If John Smith's new Lexus came with rear speakers, then by god that's how the music is suppose to sound. This discussion is about a stereo system, not a surround sound theater system, obviously.
