If there were more well-done 5.1 mixes out there than I might be listening to more of that, but until then I am quite content with 2-channels. Movie-wise I still prefer 5.1 when the film was mixed that way and 2.0 if it was mixed that way. I guess I am leaning towards being a purist. If the film was meant to be mono I usually listen to it in mono despite the fact that I can use my recever to alter it into as many channels as I would like, but it never sounds right.
...give dat man a big seegaaar!

Mono should be left mono, stereo stereo and B&W B&W...futzing with the original intent usually screws things up...
