lol ! I was playing the Prelude to Bach's Cello suite No 1 in stereo mode and you have to get right to the edge of the mantle to figure out that the center channel isn't on, otherwise it sounds like the cello is right in the middle of the fireplace. On the flip side (multiple instruments vs single), playing The Eagles - Hell Freezes Over CD and sitting back on the couch, the sound stage is quite wide - you (ok, I) can pick out each guitar across the stage - pretty cool. The previous JVC satellites that I was using certainly didn't do that.
