In Reply to: Listening to 2 channel music on a 5.1 system. What's the trick? posted by Quiet Earth on March 21, 2007 at 07:58:13:
I set up my left/right/sub speakers in my 5.1 system to sound best with 2-channel material. I use a preamp to power amps with a HT bypass, where my stereo source (Squeezebox) goes directly to that preamp, an HT receiver is used for movie playback, which also goes through preamp first before going to L/R/sub power amps.
The extra cabling and potential loss of resolution effecting the L/R's movie playback isn't a big deal.
In this system,(Paradigm Studio 60s/570 center/ADP470s sides) two channel material sounds best played back with two speakers. Although for background music, I will use all speakers in a prologic mode. Maybe a higher resolution system with more or all identical speakers would do better with multi-channel music.
Follow Ups:
And does your preamp provide for individual channel level/distance adjustments?Kal
Hey Kal. Just level and balance, still using my old Sony TAP9000. But since I run only the left/right mains though it, I don't need any delay adjustments.I use an Outlaw ICBM to route/control the sub signal (LFE input from the Rotel HT receiver for movies, the Squeezebox's L/R analog signals for that source).
