the problem with dvd-a is the fact that so few people make them - especially the ones you want! a lot or artists arent well enough produced to even warrant it i guess (some official albums sound worse than crap quality mp3s!)
i must admit i tend to listen to music via the 7 channel stereo feature my amp supports - rather than trying to get it to fudge surround (even though dolby prologic 2x through a yamaha enhancer sounds very good - just not for music) 7 channel stereo gives me a wall of sound and makes the vocal pop nicely out of my lovely centre speaker :)

i agree most people cannot setup 5.1 to save their lives - my lounge is setup perfectly for this type of thing. everything is setup up for watching movies and listening to music from my couch... also helps my yammie amp has a nice little setup that worksm out reverb etc from a little mic. i do have to disagree with the size of a sweet spot tho. if you get decent speakers (mordaunt short 7.1 setup here) the sweet spot is massive compared to the little sony satellite system i had before. i dont even mind not sitting in the 'daddy chair' sometimes now :) of course having the right shaped room helps a lot
