I listen to two channel sound (w/Sub)for critical listening and use the front three channels (w/Sub)for "enjoying the music". There is a difference to which is better due to the fact that some recordings are better suited for different systems.
System is Mcintosh MX 132, Mcintosh Mc402, and MC202 (Bridged for Center Channel). Speakers are M/L Aeris I with Cinema Center. Sub is Martin Logan Depth (I have it hooked up for two channel sub as well as LFE through Processor.)
System is very smooth. While in three channel mode the Air Blends somewhat, the smoothness more than compensates. All in All, a great system either way. the two channel provides more of the audiopyile music listening experience with the seperation of instruments, tight tuneful base, etc, etc, etc.
Could not be happier with the Mac Amps. The extra power on the M/L is greatful on certain recordings.
