yes there are standards for multichannel audio regarding both speaker positioning and "drummroll" *levels !* So for movies or possibly other multich materials there is an actuall small change that you happen to recreate the mix as the producers intended . That would never happen with typical stereo mixes (for example you dont know if the mix engineer listened 75dB or 130dB when mixing ;) ) -------------------------------------------------------------------- Main hifi: Touch + CIA PS +MeridianG68J MeridianHD621 MeridianG98DH 2 x MeridianDSP5200 MeridianDSP5200HC 2 xMeridianDSP3100 +Rel Stadium 3 sub.
