I watched POTC last night for the first time and I was realy enjoying it but the sound wasn't as lively as I usually like ( I know reviews said it was not) I decided during a break half-way through to try a DSP mode on my Yamaha 1400. I had used General before on MI2 and enjoyed the effects. I set it to adventure (Pirate movie) and I was realy impressed by the greater sound stage that it presented compared to the standard DTS-ES.
I always felt that DSP modes were not how the directer wanted the movies to sound and the effects are arranged in standard DD and DTS for a reason so therefore I should not use DSP to experience a movie the way it was meant to. But damn if it does not sound better with one of those on and the sound FX still match the screen great.
So my question is why do I feel like it is sacreligous to use a DSP even though Yamaha is famous for theirs and it was a reason I liked the receiver. Anyone else struggle with this?
