Surround soundtracks in films have been with us for over 30 years. You don't listen to mono much now, do you? In a properly set up HT system (and that is essential) a good surround movie is psychologically more involving and the suspension of disbelief is heightened. i'm not talking about explosions here, just pure involvement, even in a "quiet" film.

But as alluded to above, many HT multi-channel systems are set up using different speakers, different amps, uneven levels, sub woofer crossover wrong and/or level too high, etc.

So balance set with a meter is essentail.
