Hi all, first attempt at a thread here. I have just the budding of an interest in what's out there musically in 7.1 sound or better (Auro 3D 9.1, and perhaps Dolby Atmos and DTS: X at some point). For formats I guess we're looking pretty much at blu ray, although there may be some HD DVD out there. So what I'm hoping for is to find if there any others starting to get into this area and would like to discuss the music they've purchased, or would like to. I only have 2 blu rays so far that come under this umbrella, both pictured here. Love them both, the classical pieces of Souvenir put you right in the concert hall, although I found the change from 5.1 to 7.1 to be subtle. Lichtmond 3 just blew me away. A bit new agey, some of the tunes are very catchy. And I've never heard music like this mixed so well through 7 speakers, just an awesome experience. Both also have Auro 3D 9.1 mixes as well. The prices are a bit high, another reason a nice open discussion here may prove fruitful for us all as we look to get the most info we can to make future purchases viable ones. I also have a large blu ray concert collection which includes two in 7.1 (Chris Botti in Boston and Joe Satriani in Montreal) but feel both of those are using surround use for crowd ambience, so I'd like to stick to just audio if we could. I'm currently running a 7.2 system myself, with no ability for Dolby Atmos or DTS: X yet, but would surely welcome the discussion if there is music out there for these surround formats. So music in 7.1 > whatcha got and whatcha want?
P.S. Thanks to Clint for pointing me in the right direction
