1. Is this possible?
2. Is it desirable?
2. Is it desirable?
Yep, I know. Just asking if I have 3 HS8's whether I can run W/D/W out of my Fractal and what the results will be... i.e. if it would be worth the money?You need 3 speakers...
Sure.1. Is this possible?
IMHO it's pointless in a studio. It's indistinguishable from centering the dry signal in a stereo field of 2 speakers.2. Is it desirable?
Awesome. Exactly the answer I wanted, because now I don't have to spend 800 dollars on a third HS8Sure.

This is true if you're recording. Playback will be limited to 2 channel (stereo) anyway. But man I gotta say, in the room playing through a full W/D/W setup sounds incredible, and is capable of a much more immersive and 3 dimensional soundstage than straight stereo.Sure.

Here's the thing...I haven't really recorded with it much and most of what I do is in the room playing/practice/tweaking. Maybe I shouldn't dismiss this idea after all...This is true if you're recording. Playback will be limited to 2 channel (stereo) anyway.

In a studio? IMHO, no. It's different in a live setting. In a studio, you're sitting still. Live, whether it's monitors or cabs, there will be a difference when you move around on stage. There will be more separation between dry and wet even with monitors.Yep, I know.

I respectfully disagree Luke. I ran a w/d/w rig with all tube amps for years before I went Fractal. And I've gotta say, analog or digital, having that center channel be nothing but dry amp tone while all the modulation, pitch and time based effects swirl around the left and right allow you to develop really huge wet soundscapes while still maintaining great note and tonal clarity. Even just running a simple micropitch detune +6 and -6 cents on the left and right with the dry center sounds huge. Very different sounding than the same patch in simple stereo.I ran a true w/d/w live rig for many years with three 4x12s. The reasoning was simple, to maintain the pure analog tone of the amplifier. In the modeling world it would be pointless, hence why I’m only going stereo today.
I thought those were only 400 a piece ?Awesome. Exactly the answer I wanted, because now I don't have to spend 800 dollars on a third HS8
Sorry, I meant $795.00 NZDI thought those were only 400 a piece ?
Ha I've kicked that idea around a few times myself.If you REALLY want to have some fun, get a second pair of monitors and set up a surround sound rig.

So 2x wet & 2x dry? I'm only just entertaining the idea of the W/D/W monitors lol, let alone a fourth. Besides, I need a rack case for my III which just so happens to cost about as much as an HS8 lol.If you REALLY want to have some fun, get a second pair of monitors and set up a surround sound rig.
