We went a different way. We replaced our rarely used 6.2 surround setup that used stereo bypass with a Sony HT A9 SW5 Dolby Atmos setup that's surprisingly good for music via Roon from the Nucleus. We installed a KEF LS60 with a pair of KC62 subs in our living room.
What is the Current Guidance on Stereo and AV Configurations
Hi,
I would really appreciate anyone's guidance and council on as to how you have your stereo and AV setups configured. I am particularly looking at the options from Primare as they seem to have a solution that can fit both use cases in a single system (SP25 Prisma + a35.8).
I have two primary questions:
- Knowing that perfection is never going to be achieved, can a single configuration be damned good enough for both use cases?
- How much of a difference does a center channel make for video?
My needs are best summed up as follows:
- 80/20 use split (80 video (mostly streamed) and 20 music).
- Currently running a NAIM integrated amp, paired with Vienna Acoustic speakers (simple, minimal and I like the sound, and the look, a lot).
- My room space is open-plan, concrete floors and two walls of glass (yup -not exactly idea) and room treatment is going to be minimal. The two of us like the minimalist aesthetic.
- IF the center channel makes enough difference I would like to flip between 2.0 (audio) and 3.0 (video) configurations.
Thank you.
