what is your proceedure for setting up u'r system?

You need to read Robert Harley's Complete Guide To Home Theater. As you typed most people haven't a clue as to where to start, nor what they are doing. That is the same fore most people on here.
Good Luck,

Flrnlamb I agree, This hobby if full of New & Best. Everytime I read a magazine I will read about the "Worlds Best" or "Best Buy" or sounds better than units costing many times more. Home theater is the worst by far. Here are the options fore rear speakers. Tripole,bipole,dipole,fullrange,bookshelf that many options would scare me away. I guess it did I have four systems & none of them are surround sound. People do think I have it when I play movies the reason for that is I have my systems set up correctly. The reason I think people do not know how to setup a system is there is way to many options for almost everything & everyone has there own opinion. Wish I could type more but I must go.

Nicely sed I agree totally!

I can enjoy movies in Surround sound NOT music. Whell I can enjoy it but not as much as I can with two speakers. If you think about it if you go with surround sound you must now spread your money out at least three times as much. You are now buying three times as many speakers,amps,preamps,wire then you must set up correctly. For me seting up a surround system is easy but for Joe Six Pack it is mind blowing. I have set up many many many existing systems I cant remember one of the that was set up correctly. Most were stuck in Prologic II because they did not have the right cable or they never turned the DTS or Dolby Digital on in th on-screed display of there dvd player. Got to go..

I think you missed my point. If you think your current system is better than your Sonus Faber system you obviously
have no clue.
