Just a quickie about this. I haven't seem "traffic" on outlaw forums about this. Mostly see about bypass, DD. NEO, etc. Sp here goes.

Being a "tinker-around-guy" I've done some gross comparison of playing an ordinary stereo CD or satellite signal thru various surround modes.
I have to say that 5 & 7 ch stereo (at least in my living room) sounds pretty darned good. Seems to be a neglected topic here...unless (and this could be true) I've been asleep at the wheel.

Any comments? Thoughts?

I agree, 7 channel stereo sounds fuller than the other surround modes,my living room is 20 x 14 with 14 foot open ceiling, so I want all the sound I can get

I enjoy the 5 channel stereo,especially with "lower quality" source material such as my iPod, Squeezebox and Internet radio. It also is great for when you have people over and are partying.

I still prefer regular 2.1 channel listening for my CD's though.

Funny you mention that. I listen to 90% of music in 7ch st and I was bored the other day and tried some of the other fields and I didnt like any of them.
