After spending twelve years convincing the record-buying public that two ears are better than one, high-fidelity manufacturers have now embarked on a drive to prove that four ears are twice as good-at least. Their excuse: quadrisonic sound, pioneered by Acoustic Research, a leading maker of hi-fi equipment.
