Title: going from pro logic to dolby digital
Post by: jeepnrocks on January 10, 2001, 04:32:18 PM: As anyone who has read my other post knows i am gettin a dolby digital reciever. I have unfortunately yet to have the pleasure of hearing the difference between dolby digital and pro-logic. I also know about the discreet channels and equal power to all 5 speakers, but my question is this... How much of a difference is it ? I\'m hoping alot cause my system already sounds pretty good, and I just went and got a new center and surrounds today as well.
thanks
mike

the best example i show my friends when they come over, is the hallway scene from "the matrix" when neo goes to rescue morpheous. u can hear the bullits recocheting all over the room, and hear the shells hitting the floor. another good film to demo is "perfect storm". you can discretly hear the waves as they roll around the room.

My buddy has it and he has told me on several occasions how awesome that seen is. In regular pro logic its nothing special at all.. well time to go buy the matrix tomorrow hehe. Now if only my damn reciever would get here :-(
