Hi Matt

Since you have an Atmos processor you might want to try turning “center spread” on and enabling the dolby surround upmixer. Even though you arent taking advantage of the height channels, the center spread function eliminates the issue you mention and sounds incredibly seamless.

Pans between R-C-L do not sound like point source speakers in a properly set up level matched system -even with bookshelf speakers. Try it with Dolby surround enabled. Impressive technology.

Edit: Just read you traded in already. Oh well. Onward ho with the M5s! smile
