Scientific principles or Personal preference?

Big Government or Small Government?

Hmm...

I'm new to the forum and don't have a dog in this fight. I get what everyone’s saying. I think everyone is right from a certain perspective. I finally got my analog multichannel working well. It sounds great.

I have "Analog Bass Management" turned to on. So far every CD I have put in the player and sent signal to the Decoder in "6 channel bypass" has played in stereo. I have yet to hear any bass coming from the subwoofer. So I guess it all doesn't matter. Either I have yet to play a recording that uses the sub or the player says "no I don’t need to send any signal there" I don't have a dedicated room for anything. I downsized to a house with a large room that shares kitchen, living room, wet bar and dining room with cathedral ceilings, lots of windows, wood floors and a wife. Other than furniture and a throw rug there are no room treatments. It sounds great. I think I'm getting the best of both worlds, when I listen to music its only using stereo, when its movies the sub, center and surrounds all kick in to share what they have to say. So I guess I don’t get why everyone’s drawing lines in the sand over it.
