Folks,
I'm an audio lover that prefers smaller speakers in smaller spaces and i

don't need/want 5-8 speakers in my listening space.  I have found that i

prefer the effect of vocals/sound effects that are mixed in center in

stereo speakers,  over a center channel.  It sounds more natural and

rounded to me.
I would think that the same thing could be done in the rear speakers of

course and also front to back by adjusting the front-back balance of

sounds.
Couldn't one create the sound of a fly moving through out a room simply

by adjusting the balance of 4 speakers?
If so why do we need more than 4 speakers?
I have an audio system for which i'd like to set up 4 channels. I have 2

Anthony Gallo Acoustic Reference 3.1s and would like to swap them out

for 4 Stradas and 4 subs (with some extra money of course).  
If i do that and play back a 5.1 or 7.1 movie soundtrack or music disc

what am i going to not have vs a full 5 or 7 channel set up?
Will things down-mix properly (using pulse audio for reference)?
Bearcat M. Sandor
