Both Concert Hall and Theatre sound so good, I can't decide which is better...or is there even a difference in sound?

My Ride: '05 545i - scheduled for ED pickup in Munich on 7/22!
Is anyone else disapointed by the Logic 7 modes?
1st of all, there's only two modes - Concert Hall and Theater.
2nd of all, the sound compared to normal mode is way too subtle.
I have a 6 yr old Yamaha Receiver at home that has over 10 DSP settings, such as Concert Hall, Stadium, Church, Rock Concert, Jazz Club, Disco, Sports, etc. Each mode sounds COMPLETELY different - due to reverb, delay, room size, etc.
I can barely tell the difference between the Logic 7 modes...
I just don't BELIEVE that I'm inside a Concert Hall or Theater :thumbsdown:
BTW, I just leave it on normal mode now.

My Ride: 2005 545i (SMG)
Titanium Gray
Black Interior, Anthracite Trim
M-tech kit
Sport Package
Premium Sound
Satellite Radio
Active Cruise
Comfort Seats
Navigation
Folding rear seats
I can tell a huge difference between all 3 modes.
I use Concert Hall, because this is the mode with the best imaging for music. Theater is too biased towards the center channel. Concert Hall opens up the soundstage wider than theater, but still maintains a solid front image.
Normal mode is awful for me. Sounds like the audio is coming from behind me. I tried adjusting the balance and fader, but to no avail.
I just leave it in Concert Hall.

Ditto for me too, but I'll just say it sounds better to me.

My Ride: 2005 530i (Silver-Gray, Gray Lthr., Anthracite Maple) with Steptronic, Prem. Pkg., Logic 7, Xenons & Chrome factory wheels.
I prefer the Concert mode. Music sounds more alive and spacious (bigger soundstage).

My Ride: Current - 330 Sport Topaz Blue, Grey Leather, HK HIFI...lost interest!!
Waiting for - 535d Sport, Silver Grey, Foldy Mirrors, 172 19",Logic7,Pro Radio,Through load,Heated Front Seats,High Gloss shadowline,Black Maple,Headlight wash,Sun Protection Glass.
Use both modes, never off...I think that the difference is small, more biased centre speaker like 5.1 when you use theatre mode. I think this would be good if you had a DVD running on the screen, like a Home Cinema. Regardles L7 is good IMHO.
