Re: Immersive sound

Its interesting that after all the advances in music technology, speakers have remained essentially the same. Yeah, theres better speakers, and ribbon style drivers, but the method of delivering sound has remained the same. I know Bose does some cool stuff, but still those are traditional speakers used in new ways.

I would guess wireless technology would play a big part in the next phase, if it ever happens. It would be cool to someday before a gig, place a bunch of small wireless speakers (or whatever they will be) all over the room. Under tables, behind the bar, as well as on stage. Of course phasing, balance and levels would be a bitch.

Just a thought.
