I used to like upmixers, especially neural x, back when I ran XTZs. But now I have genelecs, I prefer pretty much everything in its original mix. Not 100% of the time, but maybe 70%. Whether it's stereo broadcast or 5.1 streaming or 7.1 discs, content usually sounds cleaner, clearer, more precise.
My hypothesis is that the genelecs are so transparent they both dig out most of the detail in the native format, as well as showing the deficiencies of processing.
But that could be wrong. Could just be that my upfiring speaker configuration isn't good enough. And I might change my mind again in a few months.
Native sounds nice ATM though.
