b) the Movies that do have 7.1 Discrete Soundtracks are not so easy to distinguish from what Meridian is able to "Synthesise" from the Rears and output thru the Sides in a Meridian 7.1 system. IMHO you really have to listen to hear the difference between the Discrete and Synthesised versions.
Good points well made. When I got my 861v8 I assumed that more films for the UK market would be 7.1. I was wrong. And did 7.1 really contribute much to Stone's film "W"? I don't think so. I think that those evaluating the G65 and considering an upgrade should move away from spec sheets and find out what their ears tell them.
