The decoder seems like a great product, particularly for someone not so sure they want to leave their cherished stereo aside.What is your opinion of how to improve television sound gradually? Obviously, I can get just a center channel, but then how do I hook it up for the best results, to either L or R or through a processor for C without L and R?
One of my peeves has been the intelligibility of spoken dialog, particularly when I am listening to foreign language films or broadcasts. I have also noticed that my stereo doesn't give me the intelligibility that I want either (which is why I am somewhat uninterested in even trying to integrate the two systems).
My plan currently is to get a center channel such as an Axiom loudspeaker, or two stereo channels (video shielded) and make a go at semi-home theater. An inexpensive good processor could fit into this equation. Do you have any helpful suggestions for me?
Thanks.
