I always listen to music in surround sound now. One of the things that annoys me about my Pioneer Elite TX-47 (old), is that the MCACC settings are always flat and have weak bass to me.

There is a button labeled acoustic calibration that has settings for front align, all channels align, and something else. It also has an off position which is what I choose. The sound becomes much warmer and the bass more present.

But, by using Dolby Pro-logic II in music mode with the acoustic cal. off, I get a really natural sound that beats the heck out of straight stereo. It anchors the vocals with the center channel and offers some ambiance from the surrounds.

After re-reading your post, I think you were speaking of music recorded in multichannel and not stereo. I spent so much time writing this, I'll post it anyway ;-]
