I don't mean this as an inflammatory question (I've had my head out of HT issues for a few years) but I'd like to know if a CRT television is better than an LCD television. Here's why I ask. I have a nice Sony CRT with wide screen (anamorphic) mode. If I hook up an OTA digital tuner (with a...

I've actually checked this out on my system. Some older movies have simple mono sound. With these movies and my system configured for all speakers, the sound emits only from the center speaker; if I switch my system to stereo, then the sound emits from the two mains. Unequivocally, the sound is...
