I'd always assumed so.

If one had a 5.x system I'd not have suggested the 568.1. Having listened to Trifield on a 5.1 system I'd suggest the rears are not adding a lot.


Sooloos, Roon, G series (with LPS upgrade), 800 series (with LPS upgrade), HD621, AC200, Prime and PS, DSPs old and new.

Purdeys, Moke, Leica, 'Blad. Only the best.

Having played with 5000HC/5200HC/5500HC on legacy mains (7000/8000).. I would opt for 5500HC otherwise use phantom center.

IMHO based on my experience of course..

How the sound field is adjusted I have no idea.

However no "sound" is thrown away is the important point.

With Trifield and rears for music, the amount fed to rears varies.
