In Reply to: Without an SPL meter, correct setup is unlikely posted by bstan on December 31, 2001 at 12:41:12:
To clarify a couple of points: On some movies I do defeat the centre channel. I also have the Video Essentials disc. I have found it quite helpful in setting up the TV. I am digging around for an SPL meter.The main point is that on mono material the processor feeds everything to the centre channel. As a result, I believe that with well setup stereo speakers you can do without the expense and complexity of the centre speaker. On a good stereo setup mono will appear to come from the between the loudspeakers. Thus why bother with the centre channel. Let's face it, aside from action/adventure/war movies, a lot of films focus on dialogue which is mono. As a result there is little or nothing that comes from the other 4 speakers in the system. That begs the question, Why are they there? Clearly, movie transfer to DVD has a ways to come and on the right movies there is info on the other channels. I think it comes down to the type of movies that you like to watch. With certian types go for full blown hometheatre, but if you enjoy mainly drama, then HT is likely overkill.
