Sure I have heard proper placement of the broadcast ambiences but never so clearly. My Dad and I were sitting front row. We heard the QB talking and barking out signals like we were on the sideline. The second the ball was snapped we could hear the initial impact of pads and helmets and growls! After the play you can hear behind you and above you the PA announcer. The crowd is all over the place. They get louder with a good or great home team play.
Now here's the cool thing. During one of the time outs we could hear the stadium music perfectly clear. My Wife called down and asked if we were listening to music. That's how clear it was coming in. My other guests made comments like who needs to go to the game when you feel like you are already there- here? It's like sitting in the owner's box with the large screen in our faces and the amazing sound from the MX160. Boy am I anxious to get my ears on a newer firmware!
Keep up the great work Chuck and McIntosh. My Review is coming along nicely and I have plenty to say about Blu ray, music, video games and Auro-3D and Atmos! More to come! Can someone confirm mx-160 has no voice of god channel? Also confirm the aux 1-4 are the same capabilities as in mx-150/151? In other words, they are used for bi-amping and/or adding subwoofers. There is a TOP or VOG (Aux3 with latest firmware).
