7.1 ch as good as a 2 ch?

[sgt bass08]

a HT amp has more buttons to play with, which will then rape the sound.

the amount of buttons and channels does not say 'how good' it will sound. A stereo amp has a much simpler circuit, so less things to mess up the sound, so better sound it will give.


HT kills imaging, the real soundstage, the 'live feeling' and thus the emotion, and thus the music.

yes but with HT amp to use your 7.1 setup u need to change your sound fields if you dont then you will not be able to use your 7 speakers and again with a dvd player hooked up aswell you need to change your sound fields again for DTS etc.... and if you dont wont to play with the sound fields you can switch back to 2CH wich a good HT amp in 2CH mode will play better than some stereo amps .
