You're entitled to enjoy your viewing however you choose. And I wish
you well.
But, I can't go along with a "5.1" equaling "crap." I also can't go
along with the notion that the video or visual sensory is so
predominant over the audio or aural sense. IMHO, it is 50/50, which is
why I do employ a 5.1 surround sound system and receiver with my HD
set, and together they make up my home theater.
I'm with you 100% that you should be able to set-up and run with
whatever gear you choose and however you choose to enjoy it. But not
to the point that the audio side of things gets disrespected. My 5.1
surround system really "makes" my set-up work. And I could just as
easily have written that the video "makes" my set-up work. Together
they're great. Alone, neither "makes" it for me.
Cheers!
