5.1 is ok for movies but not for musically orientated DVDs in our system. It is not the echo or reverb I object to but the relatively thin audio due to compression.
So, I always set audio output to stereo and bypass the external processor sending the L/R stereo direct to amps and speakers. BUT I take another audio out from the preamp and feed it back to the processor for synthesised ambiance. This way I have full control over volume in the side & rears and can choose the appropriate DSP setting for the music.
Yes it does introduce added complications but, using a programmable HTM remote and a few other bits and pieces, is easily controlled. You can see detail of this somewhat ridiculous system in the flow sheets in the AA gallery.

Sadly (or is it happily?) an incurable audio-video nutter with an indecent number of toys. Classical music forever!!!!
