Dont hate on the 5 channel records, I think it's a great system to having originally recorded something in DTS, rather than recording it originally in Stereo and then "converting" it to 5 channel later in the studio.

You missed what he was referring to - my statement about how much of a faff it is to put yourself in a surround listening situation. No-one was criticising surround sound.
