I was lucky to have the opportunity to chat with Ray for a while about his process. The recommended rear placement was 135 degrees off of dead center, with the front speakers set up in a normal stereo configuration. Ray bypasses all processing as you wouldn't have the faintest idea of how the recording engineer mixed in the rear channels or how much reverberance he placed in the recording. He records in discreet four channel mode.Admittedly his process will not work for many pop recordings, which use overlays of channels and over dubs to create certain effects. It does work well for classical and jazz which can and are often performed acoustically live.
The biggest problem with all processors is the variance in the recording techniques. Technically, one may have to adjust the parameters for every recording. I can not see any listener really doing that consistently.
