Thanks Sam. I did balance all the channels (by ear) and experimented with LFE output and LFE+Mains. I'll have to try some other concert videos and see how they compare to the two I've listened to so far. I should stress that for normal movie viewing (action flicks, etc), the Dolby Digital 5.1 sounds great! I was expecting more from 5.1 with my concert videos (which sound good in 5.1) but they sound better in stereo.

P.S. I bought a "Home theatre Tune-Up" DVD interactive guide. I used it for testing and adjusting the sound as well as picture hue and color levels. I do want to get a SPL meter though. I'll head over to RadioShack once this snow clears out.
