He talks about the "Soundstream C-2 Prepro" having various features including, and I quote, "a boatload of additional surround parameters, including Stereo Surround (i.e. Prologic II, before badged as such)."This comment about Prologic II (DPL-II ) is an outright LIE!!!
DPL-II has a completely different design methodology and code base.
Personally I would look somewhere else.

Are you talking about me or the guy selling the equipment? I was looking into his equipment for myself and I also noticed the prologic-2 thing and ask him about it. He did not lie to me and said that it was a stereo surround mode for music and is not prologic-2. He said that he just copied the info for the surround processor from another auction. I too questioned it until I looked at the completed auction for a soundstream C2 (by someone else) and noticed that the auction I was looking at was the auction he copied the description from. Go and see for yourself:http://cgi.ebay.com/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=1321490440
In other words it is not that he is untrustworthy.....he was just lazy. Anyway...the guy was very upfront, knowledgeable and honest with me and even recommended that I not get his equipment for it wasn't a good match for what I was looking for. Why would a deceitful person do that? And if you are questioning me then I question you.......
Lazy or ignorant is no excuse for publishing "WRONG" and misleading information when he is receiving money for that transaction.I'm sorry I don't buy your excuse, there simply is no excuse, period.
Would you buy from someone selling you a PC with a Windows 3.1 OS and advertising it as "Windows 95 before badged as such" ? I don't think so.
