We have several knowlegeable members. I’ve been a quad listener since the 1970s. I’ve seen several links to old technical articles posted here, so it’s worth asking or searching.

Quadraphonic sound appeared in ~1970 [RCA Q8 tapes], quad faded away in ~1977 and came back in ~1983 [then called surround sound].


IMHO, both Audio and High Fidelity mags were pro-quad, Stereo Review mag was lukewarm on quad, 2 issues of High Fidelity mag (kinda about the change from using the name quadraphonic to surround sound):

Greetings. I've just begun indulging in albums mixed in Dolby Atmos.

I've collected and watched a lot of movies in Dolby Atmos and overall it's been an underwhelming experience. Even the most revered releases features very little action in the height speakers. I've realized, that I simply want sound all around me all the time, and I find this much easier to achieve through albums.
