In Reply to: Listening to 2 channel music on a 5.1 system. What's the trick? posted by Quiet Earth on March 21, 2007 at 07:58:13:

Fortunately for me my modest HT is dedicated, if I want to listen to 2 channel stuff, I go to my big rig.

However, on the occasions that I *DO* listen to music more seriously, I use a "Pure Direct" mode that does 2CH only (no sub) - this cuts out all processing and is preety much all analog (no lights run on the receiver too).

During the rest of the time I usually just listen in "7 channel stereo" mode... typically its not too bad but then typically I use my other system for serious 2 channel listening.

Bottom line is I think this may likely be system dependent.

Good Luck,
DeeCee
