I hope this goes some way to answering your question. Take away the visuals, though, and I want my music to be lossless (DVD-A or SACD) if it's to be in m/c, or I want my two channel music with as little processing as possible. The visuals occupy part of the brain (at least mine) and I don't notice the lossy and/or matrixed sound. With movies and TV, it's m/c all the way, either matrixed or discrete (well maybe not the evening news). I've experimented with matrix m/c and don't really like it (exception being with Dolby encoded signals on concert broadcasts or DVDs-those tracks seem to respond well to DPLII). I own a number of m/c SACDs and DVD-As and in all but one case, I prefer the m/c mix, even over the "original stereo" mix-so long as the original was recorded in multitrack and the m/c mix is "discrete".

I try to do as much critical listening as I can (not nearly enough time in a day for my satisfaction) but I'm not averse to m/c sound. However, for critical listening (no picture), the uncompressed PCM two channel track is likely more pleasing to most audiophiles ("we few, we happy, happy few"-bonus points to the one who can tell me where that quotation is from). Granted the ambience of the surround track is quite nice, particularly when accompanied with the visuals, and gives you a sense of being there. The two channel PCM soundtrack on this disc is uncompressed (most two channel tracks on DVDs are Dolby 2.0-which is compressed) while the DTS is a lossy, compressed format. Why would you want to listen to the 2-channel mix when DTS is available?
