Tell me if this is off base.
The original question:
'Why is surround sound not hi-end?'
Well, after reading a bunch of other stuff and just this thread, I'd say the roadblocks are 3.
Source material. Not as abundent yet and perhaps they are still working thru the tech
Equipment. Greater tech ability means better. However, Good ain't cheap. To make a system as good as or better than a 2ch should cost quite a bit more $$ Between DSP and Audyssey, great strides have been made.
Listening area. Good start material here is needed. Small rooms or irregularly shaped, maybe would not be ideal. In my LR, I simply couldn't imagine how I'd fit it in. Even good equipment will only make a poor room better....not great.
So, The answer is not yes/no....but could be. If you have the coin, space and good source material, you can do it. For me, I don't have the space or $$$.
Too much is never enough
