I agree W/Criderfive. Just had a guy I trust tell me that most DVD players and theater preamps do NOT fully convert all of the sound into 2-channel. So am I missing some audio???? Anyone else heard this?
BTW I am a 2-channel guy, 2.1 anyway. I was an Adcom/Klipsch rep in Japan. Bought my first surround sound in 1990. Thought it sounded like crap. Upgraded my surround speakers. Sold them for a $30 loss. I have set up a LOT of homes with surround. They ALL sound like crap, except for one seat. If I sat anywhere else, the speaker 12 inches from my left ear is way too loud and I can't even hear the one 10 feet from my right ear.
