Hi Duncan,
If RMI want to do four channel sound at the next Gathering, I'd be happy
to bring a pair of nice JBL speakers on stands and a stereo power amp
suitable for use in St. Mary's to suppliment Chuck's system.

Robin Miller, who lives near me in Bethlehem, PA, used to be a
filmmaker. He is now somewhat of a multichannel audio expert. He has
conducted experiments that seem to indicate that subwoofers in fact do
contain spacial information. A church organ recording was used in the
tests and two subwoofers were better than one at creating a realistic
sense of being there. Sure, low frequencies might be omnidirectional,
but they still take time to travel through space and the resulting phase
relationships need to be preserved in order to keep information that is
lost when using only one subwoofer... if I understand what Robin's
friend told me.
Cheers,
Bill Fox
P.S. You can hear Duncan's RMI mates in an interview the last time RMI
played in Philadelphia.
