In Reply to: Your Experience w/ Pro-Logic vs DD Front Channels? posted by kendall on August 28, 2000 at 12:13:09:
Even with only the front three channels, you should notice a major difference. When my DD/DTS system is tuned into regular television, it is using the Pro-Logic processor. (incidentally, while I'm waiting for my new speakers, I only have the front three channels also) The sound is so focused on the center channel, it is actually quite annoying. So annoying, that I changed it to 5-channel stereo, and turned the center channel in that mode up several notches higher. Much better sound. But for movies in DD and DTS, using prologic is quite poor when compared to DD and DTS. Makes for a whole new world. Better channel separation, smoother panning, cleaner voices... need I go on.My speakers are matched, also, so the panning is really nice. Magnepan speakers all around -- 3.6's up front when they come in, MGCC in the center, and 1.5's in the rear (currently up front until the 3.6's come in). All backed up by a Velodyne sub for movies (HGS-18). Makes for quite an exhilarating movie watching experience!
Borrow a DD/DTS processor and see for yourself before you plop the money down. I guarantee that you will immediately go for a new processor!
