I know a lot of people on these forums prefer to listen to most of their music in 2 channel stereo.
Recently, I have been doing a lot of listening and trying to decide which of the two I like better. Basically I have come to the conclusion that for some songs I like 2 channel stereo while some songs I prefer 5 channel stereo.
One of the sound modes on my receiver is called direct and to me that mode seems to give the highest quality sound of any of the modes; Unfortunately with direct, the sound only comes out of front left and front right(no sub).
For some songs such as instrumentals or very clear voices I prefer this setting.
The other setting I listen to is 5 channel enhancer. To my ears, this setting provides the most full sound; Unfortunately this setting adds a slightly audible hiss in the background for most songs. Even so, I still prefer this mode for a lot of music.
Which do you prefer?
