I've read the full short thread, and beyond.
I like the cordialité, jovialité and expertise in the sound measurements and in the positive subjective taste towards Dirac Live digital equalization. ...Hi-Fi stereo sound...two front channels with one sweet spot.
It's a good bunch of audio enthusiasts there since they were kids. ...Just like here.
They are certainly Dirac Live oriented after their extensive experiment...and still going on. It is a constant process in order to improve, upgrade and energise the sound field.
Ears don't lie, rooms don't lie, audio gear don't lie, measurements don't lie, Live don't lie. The only thing to keep in check is . . . distortion and listening fatigue that we became unawared off till we hear pure unaltered sound from the best electronics and loudspeakers in a perfectly acoustically treated room.
There was no fatigue analysis, just pleasant sound provided by direct Dirac...Pure Audio mode from natural Yamaha AVENTAGE.
The 88 I believe is good for eight channels, but stereo only requires two of them. The other six are for home theater...7.1

Dirac Live has a dedicated stereo unit I believe, so for stereo audiophiles who desire and aspire to the best sound, that unit is all you need. ...For the purists, because the other six channels aren't necessary, or unless with your stereo speakers you are using six subwoofers, one in each corner and two more right behind you...for a good dose of Black Sabbath.
I enjoyed reading their comments. They look like a friendly bunch who want no pressure and no argument from the social world of audio nirvana. It is what it is with a door sealed tight so that no sound can escape.
That's my kind of place...I am registering so that I can learn from the pros on audio, music, films, Dirac Live, all that jazz.
Thank you again Flavio for sharing an educative link that we can all use to learn more about what drives us all insane in this very sane world we all live in today. ;-)
