In Reply to: Help me complete my HT setup... posted by NewToHT on April 16, 2004 at 21:18:43:
Surround sound depends as much on the type/size of your room, as much as the sources. Multichannel music would probably sound best with all the same model speaker, but for home theater, the manufactuer system would be best. Matched sets from the same manufactuer takes a lot of quess work out of setting up the system. A combination system usually means compromise,so which is more important to you. music or movies? It looks like you can order direct from the factory, maybe try different models and return what you don't need.I have gone from direct corner mounted surrounds, to 2, than 4 in-walls, to side mounted box bipoles. Now that I have a HT receiver (Rotel 1055)that can process all sources to 7.1 surround, I am going to try adding 2 bipole in walls that match the sides (as per the manufactuer). I won't know if it is "better" until I try it.
Follow Ups:
So I should ask myself...am I going to listen to this system more for multi-channel music or movies? The answer is movies first, 2-channel music second, multi-channel music third.Yes, the Series 2000 in the link you provided is what I will end up with if I go with everything from AA. I would probably add another pair of HTM 200 for the side surrounds (remember, 7.1).
question: Is 7.1 seven discrete channels?
Thanks!
The way I understand it, on Dolby EX and DTS ES, the third channel is matrixed out of the two discrete surround channel, similar to how the older Pro-logic center channel was produced out of the analog 2 channel signal. So there still is only 5 channels + LFE, but your processor extreacts 1 or 2 more signals for your center surrounds.Check out Dolby's site for more info:
that the difference bewteen 6.1 and 7.1 is an extra speaker but not an extra CHANNEL.
I can't get the link to work...but go to dolby.com. click on the Dolby Knowledgebase and read the 5.1-6.1-7.1 question.
