In Reply to: Interesting approach... posted by Jim Treanor on March 8, 2007 at 16:31:28:
Yeah, my reckless tilt, if I were to have one, would be in favor of two-channel reproduction. But in spite of any handicap that may exist against multi-channel it, nonetheless, almost always prevails when directly compared to two-channel.But what is really interesting is Michael Bishop’s recommended multi-channel set up. See link below. You might recall when Mr. Bishop caused quite a stir in this forum 9 months to a year ago, with this recommendation that deviates quite a bit from ITU rear speaker placement guidelines.
My set-up follows the accompanying diagram (see link) for the front three speakers. My surround speakers are more on the “wings” of the circle while Mr. Bishop’s recommendation calls for more rear placement of the surrounds.
I plan to experiment with the Bishop approach since I can far more readily accommodate the rear channel set-up that his diagram shows. It was really difficult for me to accommodate the surrounds at the optimum 110 degrees. I am currently at about 120 degrees (still within the ITU recommendations).

Follow Ups:
the "ITU is oh so ninety's" remark and commented on it here at the time.Have fun with your rear speaker placement experiment. Once you've tried it out, would be interested in your comments on what you hear with Telarcs made using the "new" configuration and recordings that assumed ITU placement.
The diagram is useful. I see how Lang has his set up. How is your surround set up differently? How do you move things around for stereo?
...if you're still interested in a diagram, here's mine. :-)
