| 5.1 to 7.1 A better question might be how many who have 7.1 are going back to 5.1?Depending on how well your receiver does 5.1-7.1 matrixing, IMO 7.1 is far more entertaining by creating a larger surround with more discrete rear channels.Room size is not an ... | |
| Speaker Selection Help +1 Buconero, One of the most useful marital retorts is keeping track of exactly how many pairs of black shoes in your wife's inventory. Be warned though, use this sparingly. I went overboard and she culled through her collection which made room fo... | |

| Why are subwoofers so polarizing? For me sub integration was making a detailed primary adjustment to obtain a flat room response, time, phase, Q, etc., using the on board Velodyne DD Plus manual Room Optimization program.Six subsequent presets are adjusted with slightly different ... | |
| Why are subwoofers so polarizing? Mapman, well said.While some manufactures are offering more and better subwoofer equalization to aid in subwoofer installation and improve integration with the main system there is still an amount of effort involved. On the other hand taking the t... | |
