Been quiet lately... too much DIY ?

[Tim Ressel]

Harry, you don't know what a genius you are...or maybe you do. the solution to
the 3D problem is to have speakers spinning around the listener, and when a
speaker is in the right spot, it makes the sound that should be comming from
that location. Kinda like the old centronics band printers. It would like the
scene fron the Contact movie...you would have these hugh rotating spheres with
the listener in the middle..you get the idea.

hehehe

Mount the speakers on some ball screw actuators, and "pan" them up and
down...
