Home Theater or stick with 2 channel?

I built around my 2 ch rig when I went about adding on an HT system. I don't find that either system suffered much if at all as I adjusted the other speakers physically to coorelate to the two ch setup.

I do use only the HT electronics for HT, though. None of my 2 ch audio devices are in play at that time, except some speaker cabling and the main speakers & sub. the pre & amps aren't used then. I am thinking about using the mono blocks though, and relegating the SS amp to the surrounds. But the hooking and unhooking each time has put me off that idea for a while now.

the 'two room' idea is a good one as well. I just feel both can occupy the same space if you want them too, without it being a really big deal or too difficult. It depends on just picky you wanna be I suppose. BTW I use the TX SR 805.

Just a thought here... sitting off center in any regular theater sure isn't as good as being more in the middle. Period. That's simply unavoidable.

Unless other seating arrangements can be made, or perhaps a change o the speaker array can be accomplisjhed, it sure looks like it's one of those, "do the best you can', and be OK with it", sort of things.

BTW... when I had to sitt almost on one wall at the theater I didn't get up and walk out. it was still a good enjoyable event. One can still hear the sound traveling here and there, and the awesome subsonics. I'm thinking it's going to be a fun thing no matter.... just a bit better in a couple spots... so rotate everyone around every other flick. I'm sure you'll find what's best for you and your's.
