Arghhh - I shouldn't have let this out of the bag - there's clearly a
_massive_ EU research funding opportunity here - now, how do I go about
obtaining time on the large Hadron Collider???

Hang on, hang on - if the electrons exceed the speed of light then either
a: their mass will go infinite and the cable will implode into a mini black
hole
or
b: they will decay into tachyons resulting in the sound coming out of the

Funny, I read the company's name as "Synthetic Research". Much more appropriate.

Speaker wiring really is a hot topic on all audio related forums.
Next time I'll use the term "speaker wire" instead of "lamp cord". :-)

Am I missing something?
You send electrons and the speaker cone moves out, o.k.
It comes back by itself.
But surely you want it to move _in_ as well? How do you
do that without positrons.
(I think that's right, most things in surround sound
seem counter-intuitive: So I doubt if it is positrons

After reading this difficult thread (I'm replying with a new title),

I think this has a lot to do with the fact that there is never just one speaker on in the panned to
ambi rig, unlike the stero case, at least for amplitude panned material. This makes the imaging less
susceptible to acoustic differences between the speakers.

Apart from the damping problem which has been very well laid out by Fons, there is another factor
which can come into play and which I documented in an article in Hi-Fi for Pleasure many years ago.
The fact is that many poorly constructed cables, when hit with a bit of power, will actually produc
