    How often do you use EX/ES with 5.1 material?

    I watched The Others last night and I thought it was a 5.1 movie that sounded outstanding when listening as 6.1. There was one particular seen when there are foot steps upstairs and Nicole Kidman's character is downstairs alone. The steps go from left to right behind you and the side surrounds...

    How often do you use EX/ES with 5.1 material?

    I currently own a Denon 3802 and I listen to 5.1 material as 6.1 about 95% of the time. However, I have heard some older movies that place all the surround signal in the surround back and very little in the surround channels themselves. The Thing is a prime example. There is virtually no sound...

    To buy or not to buy The Alien Legacy...

    You should definetly buy this set. Alien's SE is reason alone to buy it. I never saw the LD version of this movie but it adds 17 minutes to it. Alien looks fantastic especially considering how old it is. The surround sound is really great. I know some people didn't like Alien 3 but I did. I...

    ? About 6.1 Set Up

    I currently have a 6.1 set up with a DENON 3802. I sit very close to my rear wall with the two rear surrounds facing each other against the back wall behind me. My surround back is against the back wall above me angled down about 30 degrees. The sound from the rear channel is very noticable. The...
