I love surround for films where you've got things happening all around you (the battle scenes in Star Wars for example), but for music I find it a bit pointless; I don't go to a concert and sit on the stage. For general listening I stick with stereo.
On the other hand, listen in mono and it sounds good where-ever you are in the room! :-) -- rgds LAurence <>< ...A book worth banning is a book worth reading ---Taglines by Tagzilla (tagzilla.mozdev.org)
