Oh yeah? Sweet! Set it to 2.1, put on well-recorded tunes, and listen for imaging and soundstage.

I had never heard of hydrogeology, a very quick search looks like it deals with groundwater optimization, and that certainly sounds like it'll be in demand, because I agree with you that water shortages will be increasing.
I also tried to look up final presentations in Canada and the US and didn't get anything; so maybe it's just a university-by-university thing.
Ok, I'll stop derailing the thread.

Mojo,
I believe you said you had an Onkyo receiver. When you go to the quick menu there are three EQ selections: auto, presets and Re-EQ. do you know what the differences are?

London, I don't have those options in the Quick Menu. My Onk is later generation than yours.
Re-EQ lowers the high end. Theatre soundtracks are boosted on the high end to compensate for the movie screen.
Pre-set uses the sound mode and EQ you may have set for that particular input. You may for example have the CD input set to PLIIx.
Auto detects the source's sound mode and sets the Onk to use it. If your source is DTS HD MA, the Onk will detect it and play it in auto.
I want to know if you can "see" the soundstage and images thrown by your M5s.

I'm curious can you get this soundstage and imaging using Spotify? Track suggestion?

I have no previous experience with Spotify. Are you able to access/playback entire albums? Or only a track at a time? I’m going to speculate if the source file is intact without compression it should at least sound like a cd? Wouldn’t it be then left up to individual systems to playback that file without adding/subtracting anything?
Again, I’m just a bit out of my depth with this newer tech. I still like vinyl and cds. But I’m trying.
