DVD-Audio?

First off, I discovered it's pronounced "E moe tea va" rather than "Eee moe tive". So much for my street cred.

The demo system I listed to was, err how to put this... interesting. Massive Axiom M80's, Pre-amps and amps all shoehorned into a living room I'd guess was about 12x12'. Total overkill. No attempts at all to make the room acoustically friendly and I doubt we used even 1/3 of the speakers power, yet they sounded like demons howling in heat (in a good way). Totally amazing. The DVD-A's and SACD's we listed to made CD's sound muddy in comparison. For the movie, the surrounds blended in perfectly, accenting the film without drawing unwanted attention. I can't wait to hear how all this works in the room I'm custom tailoring for use as a home theater.
