This gets my personal agreement. And, I often "test" an individual sound by
listening on just one speaker while walking across the room.

I can see what is fascinating about a spatial sound experience beyond
stereo, but then to me quad is the real thing because it's plain and of
simple logic like everything on analog modulars as opposed to a
sophisticated ergonomic 3D algorithm. However while this applies to studio
sessions with me amidst the gear *and* sound it's sure different if one's
panning wizardy is supposed to serve an audience placed in front of a stage.

Best,
