PS Audio's Paul McGowan take on Music in Surround

[PK]

Metallophilia is a thing...

Max, Paul/PS Audio make excellent sounding stereo gear - and one can take their monoblocks and speakers and make a really nice multi-channel or even Atmos system. Particularly the Stellar M700 and M1200 monoblocks (which I have in my family room system) which are "stellar sounding", lightweight (the M1200 combine tube output with Class D, the M700 are pure solid state Class D). One doesn't have to agree with everything Paul says in his videos - but I think he gives his opinions generally respectfully without getting negative about other companies. Paul has presented as a guest several times to our Arizona Audio Video Club over the years and his presentations have always been done nicely and well attended. Paul and PS Audio will never do a multi-channel, or more than stereo, anything, its just not their market. That doesn't make them idiots. Though its a shame, imagine a Stellar M1200 8 or 16 channel amplifier in a Trinnov SSP home theater. That would be something.

Fully agree!! Paul is running a "High End Stereo Gear" company where only a fraction of HiFi enthusiasts can or will afford the components he is selling. It's hard enough focusing on this alone to stay in business. The even much smaller fraction of surround enthusiasts would not keep him alive in this small niche of audio reproduction. And as mentioned before he likes Surround very much but this is just peronal interest and has nothing to do with being an "idiot". And no one is permitted to use his amps and speakers to build up an exceptional surround system which Paul would be happy with and also would support it.

Huh?

Obviously is a typo - take out the "no" obviously. Paul's amps and speakers would clearly make one hellava nice sounding surround system.

And a hellava second mortgage on the house. LOL

Plus, my ears would need to be at least 10 years younger to justify such an investment.
