RE: Synthesized center, or re-created center?

Great follow up. :)

See, I wonder if in the old days the engineers were actually listening to 3 speakers in front of them?

Before I was aware of any possible causes, I was becoming aware of a darkened middle, or darkened phantom center. Makes it sound like a ghost story. :-) That is, in a 2 channel setup when you hear an instrument on the side, that same instrument in the center always seems darker. Converseley, instruments to the sides seem more present.

After reading and experimenting, I have become more convinced that the dark middle is a real after effect.

At the same time, I don't think it's worth a crusade over. :) Listen how you'd like to.

Best,


Erik
