The issue in my setup is likely the placement of the rear channels vs. seating position. I am still somewhat new to the details of HT and I am still figuring things out. Since my front speakers provide decent imagining, I am used to having a decent stereo soundfield, the rears sometimes give me what you are talking about, sometimes they don't. That was really why I posted the question. I need to do some more fussing with the rear speakers. My hearing was checked three years ago and was "normal."
Follow Ups:
Make sure you are using the processor at "full" volume (0dB on the volume setting). The volume control is in the digital domain and will rob you of "bits" of information if it is used as an actual volume control. Kind of defeats the purpose, doesn't it. But if you allow a receiver to control the volume via 5.1 analog inputs, you'll retain all of the info. And yes, proper setup can be a bitch, especially if the cables for the surrounds are run up the wall across the attic to where the roof meets the adjoining frame! The ole "I don't want to see all of the wires" routine. On a brighter side, I'm glad to see that your hearing is "normal". I'm about 85% deaf.
The volume control does WHAT?!?! I guess that explains the problem. I use it as the volume control and then run it into my passive preamp. Basically it is an add on to my 2 channel system. I guess I will have to look for another processor at some point down the road.
