Filling Room s with Sound

For those who have lots of amps and lots of speakers and who move out of the "listening position" ie. stand up, walk around etc. - and - who use receiver capabilities like Integra's "All channel Stereo" or Mono to all speakers having one source played in one more more rooms.

Some of you as I do may have two home theaters in a single source multi-room config. There are a lot of options that these setups make possible. I have found the speaker selection and placement to be the variable of most impact and interest and am interested in discussing that in this thread.

one room has a center and three pairs of identical floorstanding speakers - works great for HT, the floor standing is easy to position without furniture.

For all channel stereo it's even better - the speakers in common fill the room evenly

My other room still uses floorstanding speakers with more expensive and powerful fronts in all channel stereo it's a different effect than the other room.

both rooms are driven by gear in an a/v closet with components duplicated for each room - two a/v receivers, multipple amps. splitting hdmi source and other source to feed both receivers so both rooms can have the same source or not.

i don't see the whole house stereo folks doing this

So are you saying the room with the 2 higher end speakers for mains has a different sound than the room where all speakers are the same, with electronics being the same? You're interested in discussing these differences in 'effect' between the two 'schools of thought'?
