I have a CP-3 plus. I don't see how the surround channel can be in stereo. The L & R surrounds can be tuned differently as to level, and the CP-3+ does a lot of steering that other processors don't do, but non-digital surround processors get their rear channel information from the difference signal. There is no stereo information in the difference signal. It's merely out of phase information derived by interconnecting the positive sides of the two stereo channels.
At any rate, the CP-3 is a great audio preamp. You'll like it. The only drawback might be if you have real inefficient speakers and like your music real loud. The Lexicon doesn't have that much gain.

Al,
I will use cp3+ mainly as a processor to listen to the music ambience and surround effect to complement my primary Audible Illlusions M3 preamp.I just received it yesterday; I will experiment with it to find out whether it really can create stereo surround when playing movies. I hope this is true because some experts in SMR forum refers its effect to be an early version of Logic 7.
