WELL you are not understanding..

The Forte tech, as I understand it... is only for headphones.

And the idea is that if you turn you head...
Then the sound rotates around you.  You perceive the sound
to rotate about your ears.. (I.E. From left to right and back.)
It can place a sound in the sound field so that you can detect which
direction it is coming from.

Now the SRS is good. and works AND you don't need a "sweet spot"(center)
like QSound.

Vivid uses SRS and it is better than QSOUND IMHO.

But the Forte thing with the GUS is for localizing sounds in the sound
field.  For real VR effect.  Only with Headphones.
That is what the binaural(not binomial) sound means.
bin (two) aural ("sound sources")

Thank you.

Bye!
