I got the full EX ES experience here and id say you cant beat it. noise in real life does not just come from the front.It has to be set up correctly with the passive rears being exactly that and the surround pair should not be to loud.Set up correctly it cant be beat

The problem I get with surround sound is just that, the surround! I find watching something in front of me and hearing a sound behind me, distracting! If I walk down the street and I hear a sound behind me, it's because there IS something behind me making the sound, it's not in front of me 'pretending' to be behind me!

Until you have 'surround video' then surround sound to me is pointless, but that's just me :)

thats the point though isnt it? I dont find it distracting I find it ambient and I find it pulls me into the movie,like im somehow involved. Sound is 3 dimensional it is all around us all the time even in a silent room if you concentrate you can hear something.Ive spent well over a grand and its taken years to get my set up how I want it. 8 speakers from my Yamaha 200 watt sub Kef coda 9.2 floorstanders Kef coda dedicated centre Morndaunt short ms10 bookshelves as my rears and Mission surround speakers as my passives ;) very happy with it wouldnt want to watch a film without it :)
Take it you wouldnt mind DD7.1 in an Imax then? ;)

I just find seeing something in front of me but hearing sound behind me, sound shooting up me backside and sound whizzing left and right annoying, that's all!

Better wait for 'Holodeck Theater Sytems', true 3D and surround sound!
