How about that EX function?

[Dave Duvall]

How many of you folks are using the six (or seven) channel EX function with regular 5.1 material regularly?

It seems to work good for me for the most part, but movies like "Gone in Sixty Seconds" seems to have so much mono stuff in the side surrounds that it all dumps to the single back channel I run.

See ya. Dave

Dave,

I barely have room for 5 speakers in my listening room, so EX is out of the question for now

I'll be using it soon as I can get that two channel amp I need to augment the Outlaw...

By the way...did you know that the last two James Bond flicks have EX? They do...but it's not on the box!

I THINK Gladiator also has it.

Dave, I have used it some with my Lexicon that way. Of course, this is Club BK, but hey, I can play to, can't I?

Seems to liven up the rear soundstage a bit, I have to admit.

I need to get one more channel of amplification to have two rear speakers, instead of just one. I like the side speakers as dipolar and the rear as point source, but having a left and right rear as opposed to just the center rear opens up the spaciousness from behind.

Soon....soon...

See ya. Dave

Dave I use a 7.1 setup and run the Ref 30 in EX mode. For the most part in adds to the DVD's but on a few it is spectacular. The Crow Salvation comes to mind.I have dipoles for the sides and Directs for the backs the sound is really enveloping.

[Dave Duvall]

Gladiator is DTS-EX, but seems to decode just fine in Dolby EX. Pretty damn fine mix too.

So, "What do you call a Roman Soldier with hair between his teeth?" ?

See ya. Dave

Hey Dave...are you kidding? "Gladiator"

Hah! :-)

No, I wasn't kidding. I'm a little slow sometimes.

See ya. Dave
