Hi, I agree on the issues. My partial solution to the problems of surround sound is to use electrostatic speakers that emit as much sound from the rear as from the front. When properly placed they present a very realistic presentation. Is it like a real concert, no, but really rather excellent.
Did the elevator add to the bass response like a huge tuned port?
I firmly believe that a really good 2 channel system will sound better and be more enjoyable to listen to that a mediocre 5.1 or 7.1. I have no issue with 2.1 systems with subs that actually perform as subs. Many things called subs now are really just woofers. I use a pair of subs to handle the below 40HZ stuff.
