Acoustically speaking, I would think the ideal position of your speakers based on 2 channel performance, would work equally well with all sources, as the proper positioning controls very critical sonic considerations such as bass response (flat - no boom), 1st reflections, and a good sense of space. In fact, I would think that the introduction and of extra speakers and multichannel recordings would have a greater potential for damaging the sonic's of a 2 channel system than the opposite.
Dumb question about Speaker Positioning
I have one room that is a dedicated dual purpose music room - 2 channel and Home theater. Virtually all of my home theater use is for Music DVD (concerts)and I probably 10-15% of my time in the room is video, the remainder all 2 channel listening. I need to simplify (and hopefully upgrade) my equipment in the room by installing a new 2 channel preamp with HT passthru.
Here's the question: If I optimize the positioning of the front main speakers for 2 channel music, is there any reason this wouldn't also be optimized for music video 5.1? If not would there be much compromise in the HT quality?
thanks in advance!
