Haha .. talk about a disruptive technology .. an ultra 3D sound source .. and now basically every
audio system, be it home/car/commercial/personal etc are apparently all instantly out-of-date.

Yes, can’t wait to experience it. And regarding your malls Kim 😊 seems someone will need to invent recording devices and technology capable of capturing evidence for the legal matters one may imagine fairly quickly arising.

Cheers,
