I bow down to you, oh Knowledgeable One. Your experience is vast and greatly appreciated.
As tempting as it is to search out(been discontinued for a while now) an old unit, I really would have a hard time paying $1k for a unit that is no longer manufacturer supported. What a shame that Smart Devices doesn't see fit to re-introduce a new comprehensive CS processor.
As you may have surmised, I am one of those types that can't stand discrete sounds coming out of the rear(side?) channels. It is oh SO distracting to me. And I know that that is how alot of the material in the DD and DTS movies are mixed...bullets, glass breaking, footsteps, etc...takes me right out of the movie.
As for music, I'm not sure, but having the piano in front of me, the sax to the side or rear, and the vocalist all around sounds weird. Now if EVERYONE would mix things such that ambience is the only thing coming from the surrounds, then I would have my way and the world would be just right. Again, thanks for the help.
