Review title: Not the best 5.1 sound I've heard
Product review: I'm finding out the hard way that 5.1 surround sound is only as good as the sound engineer who mixed it. As I invest in older CD's that I enjoyed in stereo, I'm finding out that I'm not always satisfied with 5.1 surround mix. "Brother's in Arms" is a great Dire Straits CD. It could have been even better in 5.1 surround, but the man at the sound board dropped the ball. I expect to become engulfed in the music, with sound coming from all around. Hence the term "Surround Sound". Well, that didn't happen, and after the first 2 tracks, I got bummed and listened to something else.There is such a great opportunity to do something creative with surround sound, and that opportunity gets blown in the hands of the wrong person. I guess everyone has a different idea of what they expect to hear. In my opinion, Sting, Steely Dan, Bryan Ferry, (to name three) had their music mixed properly in 5.1 surround.
