548.0. "Bristol HiFi Show - 1997" by KERNEL::HOGGAND () Mon Feb 24 1997 14:18

    Well, this past weekend saw the 1997 Bristol HiFi Show and what a good
    day out is was too!
    
    Unsurprisingly, Home Cinema was very much the show-piece, with Meridian
    showing off their 586 DVD player (demonstrating both DVD video and DVD
    24-bit, 96K music). Sony had their new AC-3 decoder on show, and NAD
    were just showing how good ProLogic can sound if set up correctly and
    decent speakers/amps are used.
    
    Linn were giving music-only dems of an LP12 and AV5140 speakers driver
    by the new LK240 mono amps.
    
    NCT speakers were being shown off too. Very impressive considering that
    it was vitually impossible to tell where the sound was coming from.
    
    And, I came away happy with my (now) Linn/Meridian system.
    
    Dave.

    Hello Dave,
    
    is the AC3 system the one thqt gives correct spacial separation of the
    sound through all the speakers?? I think Pro-Logic only gives mono on
    the rears?
