I listen in 5.1 for now and might go back to stereo....surround really does nothing for me I am a 2 channel guy.

 

[zeuiax]

Stereo for me.

 

[tattoo_Dan]

I play around with the different versions of 7.1 when watching movies.

 

[penpitt]

I listen to 5.1

 

[trnqk7]

I listen in 5.1.

 

[BMXTRIX]

5.1 for me as well. I have my room wired for 10.2, so I definitely have some upgrade options if I want them, including 7.1, but I'm not yet there.

I try to listen to movies in the format in which they are on the DVD. Thus, with a 5.1 soundtrack, I listen in 5.1, but with a mono soundtrack, I listen just through the front center. With DPL encoded films, I watch them with DPL. If I encountered a movie that was 2 channel and intended to NOT be decoded as DPL, then I would listen to it as 2 channel. With a 6.1 soundtrack, I listen in 6.1. Basically, I do not want to alter the soundtrack from the original.

Movies are always in 7.1. Music is always 2.0 (except for music blurays!).

 

[Slats]

5.1 and the rest of this is to get to the minimum post length.

 

[corey]

7.2 for me.

 

[JJMP50]

5.1 for movies, 2.0 for most music although I sometimes use Yamaha's 7ch Stereo setting at a low volume for "background" music when we have company.

 

[Guiria]

5.1 for me. I really enjoy the surround experience.

 

[alexsound]

5.1 for movies.

Contest Question: Do you listen to movies in Stereo, 3.1, 5.1, 6.1 or 7.1?

Movies in 5.1 (unless it was recorded stereo or mono, then stereo or mono)

 

[koei]

7.1 for movies for sure.

 

[mr-ben]

5.1

I listen to movies in 5.1

 

[cwall99]

How do I listen to movies?

I listen in 5.1 (though just barely in the ".1" realm). My subwoofer is really weak. Every time I think I have a few pennies to rub together to buy a subwoofer, something in one of my cars or my house goes. Or something goes goofy with one of my kids.

It sucks being responsible.

 

[tcarcio]

Well I have a 7.2 system but it really depends on the movie. If the film is a big action adventure type film I listen in 7.1 if available and 5.1 DDplIIx if not. If it is a comedy or drama I will listen in 5.1 and I will listen to music in 2.1 or dts 5.1.

movies

It all depends on how I'm viewing the movie---if its on TV with commercials I am likely to just listen to the sound straight from the TV, but if its a DVD or OnDemand I'm going to listen to 5.1 as loud as my wife and sleeping 2 year old son will allow. My receiver is capable of 6.1 but I don't have an extra speaker and haven't wired my TV room for that just yet.
