Yes, the top AE's in LA listening to George that day thought he'd lost it. His entire program was based on the belief that we should adapt to the new lower audio standards by mixing in surround on a crappy Yamaha 02-R!

So, to all scratching their heads, you should give up on quality for quantity, after all, 6 channels of crap is better than 2 channels of good.

Wow I must have turned off my ears or something. I did not get that at all from George. I got that he is a big advocate of surround, and has stopped being a super outspoken person when it comes to gear. I to think surround is amazing. I do not have a super high end home theater but do have Dynaudio BM15s with Bryston amps that I use. I know of quite a few people here in the area that have very nice home theaters and listen to DVDA and SACD and wish that others would do the same.

I guess I missed the Quad days as I am only 35, and had a modest 4 track at 14. But I am glad for that because I am not jaded toward the media and I truly enjoy it.

Just my impressions.
