5.1 speakers for a 6.1 receiver (1 Viewer)

[Dan Mertz]

I have a receiver capable of 6.1 surround. Would I run into a problem if I get a 5.1 speaker system for now (since there are some good clearance deals right now) and then get a separate rear center speaker later on? Do they even sell rear center speakers by themselves?

a *rear* center is the same as a normal center, just as a left speaker is the same as the left speaker

But yes you can pick up another center speaker later on.
