Hello jörn, Thinking about what you say here, is this working by having pure M from the front and S from 90 degrees to the side, effectively 'mixing' the M S signals in the air as they reach the ears/brain? (Maybe I'm thinking about this too much, my brain is hurting.) If so, is there significant distortion/corruption of the effect from the two ears receiving different variations of the M and S signals? I realise that ear crosstalk effect is an issue with standard two speaker stereo as well, but the consequences with this kind of signal presentation seem to me to be quite different. As part of this, if the head turns say 45 degrees to the left, the ear difference would seem to be at a maximum, with the left ear receiving a significant amount of the opposite lobe of the figure 8 with little cancellation effect from the M in front. Perhaps this is all part of the plan….?
