PLIIx is pretty similar to PLII sound wise and unless you are sitting between the 1st and 2nd row of surrounds it is virtually indistinguishable...
I have to strongly disagree. I found PLIIx to be a big improvement over EX, Cirrus and certainly PLII. The soundfield is much more enveloping and fluid. For the first time I actually feel as though I am at the theater with PLIIx in my set up.
I think there are a couple of reasons that many people seem to be liking PLIIx. Many are going from from a 5.1-speaker set-up to 7.1 and noticing the improvement. This is also the first time many have heard good quality 7-channel processing. This could lead some to believe that PLIIx is "that much better" than PLII, when really other factors are contributing to the improvements they're hearing.
