The same volume setting does not at all mean the same volume LEVEL unfortunately. Many times different sources/inputs have different gains. In a more extreme case, car head units almost always have a huge gain for the radio compared to anything else.
I listen to surround at a different place; where I am now I keep thinking I should just build up really great stereo. Then I go listen to something in surround and change my mind...but it DOES depend on what you listen to; the number of titles is not huge.
I have found this site to be helpful: http://www.2l.no/hires/
There are some really nice test tracks on there.
First time in my life that I actually enjoyed the surround experience and felt that things went flat when I switched to stereo.
I especially like the piano pieces that add the room in which the instrument is located: Chromatic Fantasia, Innocence, The Elder.
Kyrie is also a very nice piece to listen to.
Finding music tailored to my weird tastes will be a tough cookie though. *chuckles*
Hopefully it was developed by a different team than the X4700. I couldn't get my hands on an AVR-X3600 so I have an X3700 on order. I sold my X3200 yesterday for a decent price.
I will be creating a new thread this morning with all the info. Denon has been kind enough to wait on me before releasing their set. We had a breakthrough finally on the issue at hand....
