You're right, they don't like surround-sound and they do have a point. Surround-Sound systems are not designed for pure music listening, you're better off with a good stereo amp and a good pair of stereo speakers for doing things like that and here's their point, for the cost of a surround-sound system you can buy better sound stereo amp and speakers.
In short, surround-sound is for entertaining and enjoyable listening. On 26 May 2014, at 4:52 pm, Gary Wood <k8...@att.net> wrote: > Well it's too bad some people are like that.
