2+2+2 Multichannel
I have to agree on the center channel bad rap issue Eldartford, My system sounds much better with my center channel in the picture..I do understand that someone with a TV and small, poorly matched center channel stuck in the middle of things could come to this opinion. Keep us posted on your findings. I also have extra amps and speakers and may play around with this type of setup myself, winter will soon be in Michigan and audio will be moved to the front burner.

Eldartford, I read you on the advantage of having a centre channel. That this channel should use the same model speaker as the main l/r and same amplification makes sense to me. Have always been intrigued, however, on whether the ITU's recommendation that all five speakers be identical "full-range" and use identical amps is not first, premised on what the ITU considers to be "full-range" (I have never gotten an answer on that one, but think they see speakers used in the home as way smaller than what a lot of audiophiles use) and secondly, on some sound if rather impractical notion of uniformity. I am now thinking of putting together a multi-channel system as a second system using what I have on hand (Sony SCD XE 670, Yamaha MX-35 amp, four small Infinity speakers and two small Mission speakers) and getting low priced equipment to fill in those other spots (sub and centre channel) while things get sorted out in the marketplace. |
Well how about this Unsound, http://www.highfidelityreview.com/news/news.asp?newsnumber=19438410 Dave |
