CurtisSC,
I should have worded my post more clearly...it did come out not entirely making sense. What I was getting at with the Doppler effect point is that movie soundtracks are mastered to mimic the way effects would sound in a real environment. For example, a helicopter flyby in a movie soundtrack is recorded differently in the front and surround channels because that's how it would sound in real life (because of the Doppler effect). Since there's already a tonal shift mastered into the software, I would argue the effect of mismatching the speakers front to back would be small.
