I have my DVD player hooked up to my Pioneer large screen projection TV, but only play it through my 2 channel McIntosh amp, Parasound preamp, and Paradigm Monitor 7 speakers. The sound is just breathtaking! Why even bother to upgrade to a 5.1 system, with all those 'overkill' amounts of speakers all over my room? I don't think i'm the only one that feels this way as well, as I have a friend who has DVD and only plays it through his TV's 2 channel stereo speakers, and is happy with the sound. This is probably why many DVD's give you the menu option to select 'Dolby 2.0'. I am glad for this!
