2.1 Stereo System for TV Listening


How well does a 2.1 stereo system work for TV listening?  As I have been looking at smaller homes, I’ve noticed that in many of those places, the TV would need to be same room where I would be listening to music.  In quite a few of these homes, it would be tough to set up a good 5.1 installation anyway.  A 2.1 system makes a lot of sense, since sound quality for music is my priority.  I currently have a quality 2.1 system with an integrated amp, tower speakers, and music streamer in my living room as well as a more modest 5.1 system in my TV room.

My biggest concern about using a 2.1 system for TV listening would be getting clear dialog audio at both low and high volumes.  I would be interested in reading about your experience using a 2.1 system for TV listening.  Thanks in advance for your input.

@stereo5 I love my Zvox, use it in my bedroom setup. voice is incredibly clear. i think about adding a sub to round out the stage.

@flyfish77 I had a great Arcam 5.1 setup, then came 7.1 and it all began to feel like way too much to deal with. I slimmed down to a quality 2.1 and have been happy ever since. hope you have fun with the transition.
