[opendtv] Re: No Commentary on Fox/NASCAR Broadcast

Yes, 10-in L/R, 7-in C, LS, RS (all DIY) and pair of vintage Altec VOTT 15-in 
SWs.
Matching Planar Magnetic Midranges and Ribbon Super-Tweeters.

But I frequently listen to just the 42-in Hitachi Plasma (large detachable 
speakers)
plus an external 7-in "sub-woofer" I built as a separate section in the Center 
speaker.

Sorry if this has been covered already - I haven't been following this thread.

Further trolling on www.linearacoustic.com revealed yet another mechanism
for "missing dialog", esp. during sports events...or with an overly aggressive

Several music and sports broadcasts (incl. FOX) have been using SRS Circle 
Surround
encoding to synthetically "enhance" their ambience:

Which is why they sound "fake".......

The Stereo (Lt/Rt) downmix would contain an ample amount of anti-phase signals.
Linear Acoustic claims that the synthetic surround processors in some
TVs and AV Receivers somehow gets confused and nulls out the Center channel.

But, I've never "fixed" a missing dialog problem in a Stereo program by simply
switching off my AV Receiver's PL-II synthetic surround mode....so go figure....
