Let me explain further, I'm also saying I would rather listen to the stereo surround version extracted from 2 channel over just the regular stereo version. Notice I said, "If properly set up". The new surround versions out today can drastically improve upon "Normal stereo". I'm not trying to start any fights, just trying to spark some passionate dialog about listening to 2 ch. over 5.1 ch. I'll bet most people that have a high end processer will say the same thing, they listen to the stereo surround version over regular stereo everytime. Ears is right about the center channel, when I listen to a stereo version, I to will swear the center channel is on, thats called imaging and my system does that well, but add alittle to the surrounds and now you have an accurate sound stage, more natural sounding. That's the point here. More comments ?
Anyone agree ? For the Tireguy, I question your experience when you say an Adcom pre-amp is one of your favorite componets. You might as well say you like Bose speakers too. Lets keep it friendly now, I just said I question you experience.
