And all it would need is a decent amount of power to the front as the rears are not needed. That is what I may do, don't know.
& found that I lost ambience. The rears seem to paint an acoustic back drop over which the fronts paint. For DD, I admit that I mounted my LR1s horizontally like the MGCC1. I did this to make the stray rear signals less distracting. Instead of a phone suddenly ringing out of one of your rear channels (that makes me involuntarily glare directly at the speaker), I hear a distant phone ringing off to the side. Infinitely more pleasing to me.
But is that how you think it would sound if you were in the picture looking at the scene? Or more direct sound from a point source. It is a preference though. I think if it is recorded right, then a source point sound will sound like that and an ambient will sound ambient.
.. But by that philosophy that would unfortunately that out of the numerous LDs (I own & rented) I haven't found a correctly recorded film. I think my theory is much more probable.However, the lateral Maggie is an elegant fix.
I'm keeping my DS receiver around even though I'm not using it. It might
come in handy down the road......Tom S.
