I've never used the Dolby Virtual Speaker stuff, since I already had surrounds before having access to this sort of processing. It's one of those things that I just suggest giving it a try to see what you think of it.

There's an old 486 tower PC sitting in the attic that ended up being named "gonk" back in college because of its similarity to the Star Wars droid. I borrowed the name as my screen name a few years later. It's a good pet name, too, though - could see it for a rott or for a big cat like our persian or maine coon...
