ok you know of what you speak...

I suppose the problem is in my head...perhaps 5.1 for film is better than a stereo pair, but for me, it's not worth the time, the trouble, and the expense. My audio closet is now full of gear (my hovercraft is full of eels).

and I concur with the other poster who says the big Velo is perhaps too much by half (I haven't located it outside the house yet, perhaps that's the proper place for it...even with the gain approaching zero the damned thing lifts me off my fat ass every time there's a bump in the scene).

I just don't like the kind of movies that need DD to be "good".

I've heard the Dynos at Soundex, and they certainly are capable of the kind of acoustic alchemy I hear with the Virgos and the Merlins. There's something about the amazing execution of a insignificant-looking tweeter that makes or breaks an audiophile transducer.

with humble respects to your opinions,
