I thought I would like the surround music more, but the T60's do such a good job of filling the room with sound... I agree with the 'live audience' feel. when I have time to just sit in the 'spot' and listen, the vocals are more real and spatious in stereo. If I'm moving around, doing stuff, then I tend to go towards the surround sound.

What I enjoy most, and I have a hard time describing it, I can crank the system up and it doesn't seem "loud" to me- in that I can listen at those levels for a long time. On my old system, I would play it "loud" but after a while I had to turn it back down. Is that what people mean when they talk about fatigue? I can crank these bad boys up to where the whole house can hear it, but I'm not getting fatigued or worn out like I do with my other system. Don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to blow out my eardrums, but these seem easier to listen to. Does that make any sense?
