Stereo (2-channel) is stereo, HT is HT, and never the twain shall meet.....I have three HT systems, two based on separates, one with an AVR. They are hardly ever used for music listening, maybe FM once in a while. I will have to admit that AIX discs in multi-channel format can sound pretty goodon a higher-level HT set-up, and all concert DVDs/Blu-Rays benefit from the format also. The trick there is that video is part of the mix on those discs, soit's akin to watching a movie (ever notice how music sound-tracks in movies usually sound pretty damn good?). The eye-candy enhances the audio portion and vice-versa.
