Thanks Socketman, yes a flashlight would be more accurate. I used the term "laser" just because we are trying to make pinpoint sound locations, or at least pretty close ones. I did, as you will read, note that sound is obviously NOT laser precise and that I was just trying to make a visual picture.

Again, I also continue to tell people that what I am talking about it purely "ideal" conditions as directed from Dolby, and the somewhat limited DTS information. We rarely live in that ideal space in our listening rooms, but that doesn't mean that we shouldn't strive for the more "ideal" instead of starting with a "compromise" as the starting point.
