Followed by John Lill playing Rach 3 at the age of 70 - Magnificent! But as for the surround, well huh! The usual uncorrelated mish-mash in the rear channels, signifying nothing. Turning on the rear speakers did push the stereo image back from the front speakers just a bit. This was most convincing with the rear channels boosted by 6dB. Then I tried sitting sideways, facing the left; I should still have felt the image to be over to my right, but I got bits and pieces flying all over the place. When the applause started, I tried turning off both right speakers to see if any kind of image was formed by the left channels - but no, the applause was tied almost solidly to the rear speaker with no sense of space. But I will record the organ recitals (presuming they are included in the test broadcasts), and examine them at leisure.
