In Reply to: Approx what percentage of DVD users use 2-channel? posted by CQ DX on July 18, 2002 at 06:43:37:
That would help explain the popularity of those crappy "Home theater in a box" systems. Most receivers sold from the mid to late 90s were at least Dolby Pro Logic. I would guess the 20% would be mostly a) the hard-core audiophiles who don't want to mar their precious two-channel systems or b) people upgrading from VCRs who don't have the money to buy a 5.1 system -- yet . . .
Follow Ups:
I would set up a 5-7.1 HT system in a heartbeat were it up to me...
There are some decent smaller speakers and even in-walls that might meet the WAF factor. I'm pretty impressed with the decent (no, NOT audiophile quality and no, NOT spectacular, but decent) sound I'm getting from a pair of Cambridge Soundworks AM62's, picked up on eBay for about ninety bucks including shipping. These have a 6.5" woofer and aimable silk-dome tweeter; there are also model with a 5" and 8" woofers. Might be worth thinking about . . .
