Last night I recalibrated the speakers, did an MRC again, and played again with Mr. Bob's [Linked Image from softronix.com] Trifield setting - changed center depth from 0,5 (default) to 1, Center EQ from EQ1 (default)to flat, and rear level (default=0) to 5. The integration of the L/R B&W804's with the B&W HTM1 is now so seamless that you can not distinguish if you have a speaker at center or if it is stereo playing. Sound stage much wider, so is depth. Much much better sound overall. [Linked Image from softronix.com]

Heard many disks afterwards which sounded way better than before, but I was impressed with one: I am not sure what sort of recording process Vanessa Mae's latest CD has, but it sort of sounds as its DTS 5.1 somehow ..

BTW, M's Trifield is probably the only implementation in consumer products out there (hence Meridian's own Trifield). And there is a slight possibility that Yamaha has an implementation of "Tri-Field" which I am not sure if it its the same or not. The only other products I found using Trifield algorithms are professional encoding hardware or software.
