tonight we decorated for Christmas. i have an articulate 4 yr old daughter, so this yr was mind blowing for her so far. the whole time i played music in 5.1 stereo while we did the deed. as we worked i was very happy that no matter where i was i had a pleasant ear full of the "mood" music. but occasionally i would sit down and take it in from DFC, and i found it became dysfunctional and all over the place when i was fix. it reminded me of bad outings seeing talented local music in settings not meant for music. yes i have a serious programming to listen for sound stage and image but the 5 channel stereo seemed to really screw up my audio compass.

but to be honest, as soon as i walked away it was the best sounding option i could choose.

YMMV
