When you are faced with a 2.0 track and you would like to kick that up a notch what do you use? Do you select the originator Dolby Pro Logic or do you go with the new guy DTS Neo:6 or do you pick the wild card and use your receivers proprietary software? No need to argue why you format of choice is better, just plain fun here.

Subtle ambiance recreation at the sides (Lexicon CP3).

I never listen to stereo sources without it.

Between PLIIx and Neo:X, I prefer PLIIx because: more flexibility to adjust the surround processing to my tastes and varying recordings; more stable processing with less artifacts; surrounds are more directional rather than mono-ish (Neo:6).

Having said that, for 2-channel music I use the proprietary ambience extraction built into my processor (Lexicon MC-12).

Ditto. I find with music I can only use PLII about 25% of the time preferring the original 2 channel (song by song bases). Also can usually enjoy *5-channel stereo mode more than PLII (still song by song bases).

*while it may be technically proprietary almost ever manufacture has it and works (basically) the same.

It depends. switching from NEO:6 to stereo sounds more natural. Switching from stereo to DPLIIx sounds more WOW! What is better? I think DTS NEO:6 sounds better for most of the music smile.gif

However, playing with the 'settings' is basically why we are all here. So since proprietary software is there to use, why not experiment and see what sounds best.

For TV and movies I use PLIIx Movie coupled with THX Cinema.

For Music I use PLIIx Music or 2 Ch Stereo (unless a bunch of ppl are over then I use ALL CH Stereo for background music).
