See my post of 3-13-03 on this subject. I agree with you one hundred percent. I just spent a fair amount of money upgrading to newer HT components, only to conlude that stereo is still better except with DVD DTS movies where the producers have taken the effort to create (from inception) a five or six channnel soundtrack that enhances the movie-watching experience. Everything else, including Pro-LogicII, is an attempt to simulate the surround-sound experience. Sometimes it works, more often than not you end up with a garbled mess. Of course, many out there will conclude my components are junk, I mis-wired the system, or haven't made the correct adjustments, ect. That's fine, I'm going back to four-channel stereo for all music and video except DVD DTS movies.
