Well, the front channels are definitely positioned correctly and are 100-percent equidistant from my listening position, without any toe-in even necessary. Perhaps I was a bit overzealous by suggesting I experience nasty or heavy combing; it's not, really, that bad -- there are moments when I can detect a locked-in center image when characters are talking and the format is in some form of two-channel Master Audio. But it seems to come and go.
Even 2.0 stereo tracks don't decode "properly" in that there's no way to "matrix" them into the surround channels via any kind of upmixer (I am hoping and praying the newer AVRs allow for this and automatically remember the last mode used to do so, but from what I am reading they don't -- at least they don't switch automatically the next time you listen to such a soundtrack) -- there are quite a few Blu-rays I own with actual DTS-HD MA 2.0 STEREO tracks, such as Tales From the Hood and Ninja III (both from Scream! Factory), and these only play from the left/right front channels, as well.
But from what I'm being told from folks like Peter, the tracks CAN sound somewhat correct if you're 100-percent in the sweet spot.
