In Reply to: I'm finding rear speakers don't add that much posted by Brad on December 19, 1999 at 22:25:46:
Hi BradLee & Ray give good advice. I have not moved to DD & still run pro logic but the comment that not all sound tracks have much data to encode is very true. However it is overdone with some movies so a volume control on the rear channels is essential, with the magic set up spot clearly marked. It is so domineering on some soundtracks the speech is difficult to understand.
But rear sound is worthwhile, even with music. I have been an advocate of surround sound for years and agree with the latest writings by Gordon Holt (see the latest issue of "The Absolute Sound") on the topic. If SACD takes off & they record multichannel, then this could become a lot more common.
So I suggest you reinstall your speakers and cut the volume back if the sound annoys you, but do not expect it moire than about 10% of the time. The most common mistake for inmates is to run the rear sound too loud. Incidentally we find many TV broadcasts have ambient dolby sound in them - makes many documentaries (and even soapies if you can bear to watch them) more enjoyable.
