You can do your own A/B comparison by turning on and off the surround processing on your receiver.

Something to keep in mind is that when using surround processing, it's often the case that total system volume ends up being higher than in stereo mode. Since louder generally sounds better, you should try to control for that so the difference you experience is isolated to stereo vs. surround (rather than stereo vs. surround and louder).

OK, I'll give that a shot and see how it goes. Thanks for all of the help and suggestions.
