One turntable and a single stack, or a surround wall of boxes?

Two documented approaches to building a sound, stated neutrally: a purist tradition plays from a single turntable through a single or central speaker column, prizing focus and clarity, associated with sounds such as Jah Shaka, Channel One and Stone Love's central column; another approach surrounds the crowd with multiple stacks for immersive coverage. Neutral framing; no verdict. Sources: Jah Shaka profiles; Channel One Sound System notes; Stone Love Movement histories.

Stance: single central stack and one turntable vs multiple surrounding stacks
