2 channel vs. 5.1 channel.

Posted by jimbill (A) on November 7, 2006 at 13:33:17

I've got my system set up as 2 channel with a sub. The speakers are large, full range and accurate. My question is, if the source, say a DVD, has center and rear channel information, is that information being fed through my mains or is some of it lost?

Also, if I eventually go to a 5.1 system, will the new pre/pro or receiver automatically direct all the information from a standard stereo CD through the mains and the sub?

I really enjoy my music through my current system. What, if anything, would I be compromising to go to 5.1?
