Picked up Yamaha RX-V1800 yesterday, WOW..PCM 5.1 is amazing

Well after a couple months of debating on upgrading my Yamaha HTR-5890 to a model that would give me HDMI, uncompressed pcm ect.. i finally ended up buying it yesterday. After setting it all up, i put in AC/DC concert into the PS3.. well talk of a major difference in sound! I couldn't believe how dead dolby 5.1 is compared to pcm 5.1
Then we popped in Cars, and watched the first 10min... Mother of God.. my living room as never been filled with so much sound coming at me in every direction.
I don't think i can ever live with just dolby 5.1..it will never be the same!
I felt the same way i did when i watched my first blu-ray (cars) and couldn't believe all the details i had never seen before. Now it's my ears jumping up and down!

If anyone is still on the fence concerning upgrading their receiver, to enjoy these new audio formats.. don't be! It's well worth it!
