So, has anyone here gone from a 6.1 or 7.1 set up back to 5.1? If so...what are you thoughts?
I currently have a 7.1 system but we are moving to a new house and although the new living room will support 7.1 I'm just not wanting to go through the all the extra hassle running those wires and putting more holes in our brand new house! LOL I sound like my wife!!!!!
I'm thinking of just getting some dipoles for my side surrounds and going back to 5.1. I figure the dipoles might create that back soundfield/imaging well enough to not miss the 7.1 set up.
I will say this though.....switching from 7.1 to 5.1 in my current set up really doesn't make a huge difference. Anyone else feel this way? Or been in the same situation?
Thanks in advance!
