Why chase Dolby Digital?

Hi Jason

I do not share DPC's opinion that you must do something.

To stir the pot, why all this lust after Dolby Digital? We find pro logic fine and it gives all the surround affects we want. We have a large collection of LD's (movies, music) and only a few have DD and many do not even have Dolby at all (operas & the like). We use a Fosgate (Model 2) and these are reputed to have the best sound around because most of the circuitry is analog - the rear is digital. I have a Lexicon in the pipeline to try out but it is also not DD and it may not sound as good as the Fosgate.

I would suggest your dollars could be better spent elsewhere (improved sub woofer ....) but probably few other video inmates would agree!
