the only times when i thought there was exaggerated reverb is when i tried music with "multi channel stereo" or when standing near one of the surround speakers; so i don't understand what may cause this problem.

if someone would like to hear exaggerated reverb, just come and pick up (for free) my former processor which had "Dolby Surround" and "Hall". it's a Yamaha SR50.
after using it for more than 20 years, i never succeeded in setting it in a way that was remotely satisfactory. it was barely better than my previous setup, which was the "Hafler surround":
