I dont know what your using for rears, but that may be part of the problem. Actually I find movies in good stereo to be much better than in surround with cc/bb type surrounds. I use full range surrounds and the best I've ever heard my system i think is in 4-channel, R-L Front and R-L surround, no center, no sub. I got lucky and found my "dream spkrs" for the fronts and used my old ones for the surrounds, and it actually makes me sad that they're being used for such a menial task, and if i find another use for them I will do so. I guess what I'm trying to say is that on well done DVD's you will apprecite the surrounds, for a lot of movies, just like cd's, are not done to full potentential and surrounds are a waste. So just enjoy and trust your judgement.
