Do you listen to audio on 2-ch or 5.1?

No one has mentioned Quadraphonic.
Is that totally gone now?

I've found some quad stuff on the net encoded into dts. It's not bad, money by floyd is a trip, couple other on the album arent to bad either, but some effects are just not right(they were trying to hard to make it trippy I think)

Try sda's, you don't need a center, rears, sides, tops, bottoms, or subs.
I think you get my point

Dude...I have the SDA SRS...and I'm picking up a pair of SDA 2.3 tl's this weekend. Sadly, I don't have the room to use the 2.3's for the rear channel, so I'll just use them in the upstairs system.

It's not set up yet, I should be getting my 5 amplifiers back from the shop this week. Right now I'm in the processs of collecting odds and ends to put everything together (interconnects, cables...etc).

I was thinking of hanging a pair of LSi Fx from the ceiling.....hmmm....

I find multi channel music frustrating.

Hell, I don't even own a multi-channel anything. I watch movies in good ole 2.1 through SDA 2As with a little JBL E150P sub, which might surprise a few of you, especially when I happen to play some music through that rig.

Of course the main rig is a music only, no sub needed, rig.
Then the other rig is an all tube rig for music only, no sub. Might hook up the little 10" Audiosource powered sub with the tube rig when I move it into the living room, just for some low-end oomph(keepin it realistic of course).

Realistic, a tandy corporation?

Just kidding.

i chill out to 7 channel stereo. logic7 works pretty well, but i feel it over-emphasizes certain sounds and/or vocals. 7 channel stereo is more laid back and neutral, but still very enveloping.

For me if I am actually listening to music I use direct mode. (fronts only full-range, no sub)

If I am just creating background noise while doing other stuff, I use 5 channel stereo.
(fronts set to small, crossed over at 80hz - my normal HT setting)

I listen to my dog snore in my ear, at 3AM in 1.0....which wakes me up, causes me to **** about it in 2.0 and in turn wakes my wife, who then has the uncanny ability to complain in full 7.1 DTS Surround Sound.

Same here,except no pets, alarm clock activation @ 5:45 am causes wife to go into full 7.1 sound, with language options, no remote

I like 4 channel stereo and also I like to listen in dolby Prologic IIx Music sometimes-it depends on the recording. SACD and DVDA is most always 5.1

Mark,
Just when I think you can't get anymore "off the wall" funny, you go and post something like the above...

2- channel, no need for a subwoofer in my setup. thanks....WCW III

Will not listen to music on the HT. Other half has to when I'm not around... not free to use the 2ch rig. However, she only listens to CDs and XM in 2ch mode without sub.

Whatcha got??? A 2-ch chastity belt???

Is your wife THX certified?

I listen in two channel because it's what I have. I did the whole 6 channel stereo thing and I think it sucked. it was only good for making things louder. It completely destroyed any type of depth or imaging you'd want to create as a soundstage. It certainly was loud though, and sometimes thats just what you need.

Nah, I just have her convinced that if it isn't plugged in, switched on, and then the components powered up in a certain order it'll blow up.
