one of the nifty functions that came with the Yamaha HTR-5760 receiver I recently purchased was the microphone that helped set up speaker placement and automatic adjustment of frequency response per channel. Even though the rear (and side surround) speakers are small...they seem to do the trick...
How important is bass response in a rear speaker? How much low end noise is actually sent to surround speakers generally in movies? I would like to create the best sound possible but didn't want to throw a lot of money into rear speakers if not a lot of low end audio is being sent to them...
One of the movies That I would love to see/own hasn't really been made yet. Chris Cunningham has been rumored to be directing "Necromancer" for years now but there has never really been any official word on it. For those that don't know him, he's made videos for Bjork, Portishead, Madonna, Aphex...
