MC remains a niche market within a niche market.

My challenge with MC lies with unavoidable economic compromises. I simply cannot afford that many Sound Lab stats nor the amplification to drive them! Nor really have the space to support such. HP's "Super Maggie" MC system sounded pretty darn good but was never as transparent as the Room #3 system.

Things would be different with Ray Kimber's budget and six pair of 922s. ;)

I enjoy classical, but other genres as well. And not into synthesized MC effects found elsewhere. Been there, done that.

I think that, for good or ill, the rise of Atmos will reveal more clearly the appetite for multichannel music.

Perhaps so. Employing even more speakers (13?) via height channels is not what most folks seek to do. My current AV processor supports such, but I'm happy with a 4.1 approach in the HT. During the Covid era, the local symphony provided live feeds of performances to ticket holders. That easily bested the realism afforded by even my Telarc content.

agree with most of them. But this is getting us far afield.

I began my involvement in this thread because Pentatone was founded as a multichannel label and I find it sad that Presto does not offer the downloads.

The most significant thing about Atmos is that it is "single inventory" for sales and streaming.

  their business reality differs.

  Ok. It's been around for more than a decade.

    Yup, Atmos came to commercial theaters in 2013 but.............
    "Dolby Atmos for Music, an audio-only iteration of the format was adopted by streaming music services Tidal (uses E-AC3) and Amazon Music in December 2019." Still too early to tell when/if it will lose the training wheels.
