Do you like surround sound system or regular stereo better?


When I was young I really like surround sound. My dad had a 5.1 surround system and it was awesome at the time.

But now I get older I prefer simpler good ol' stereo. The whizzing spaceship sounds all around you get tiring after awhile.

Moreover, many surround sound design were so exaggerated it's annoying. It's fine for some 5 minutes tech demo to wow people but for a 2 hours movie? No thanks.

Very interested in the experimental possibilities of creative surround setups, but I usually watch movies with studio monitor headphones. Stereo is just fine. Shit I'll take mono out of a tuna can speaker for novelty's sake.
