Hi there.
I've had the same speaker system for about 7 years, and while they've served splendidly over all this time, I'm ready for an upgrade.
I've pretty much determined that I want to purchase a THX Select System -- I don't really need the ULTRA, but I would really love to have the THX specs.
I've pretty much narrowed my choices down to two systems:
Atlantic Technology System 270 THX Select
or
M&K 750 MK II THX Select Complete System
I've read killer reviews for both, so any opinions or suggestions would be great.
I'd be using the systems for a lot of music listening as well, so that is certainly a factor.
The biggest factor, however, lies in surround speakers [at least I think so]...
...I haven't heard too much about the 'best' way to set up a 7.1 surround system. While I wouldn't have an EX/ES receiver for a while, I certainly want to have this system 'ready'....
What I mean is are Bi-Polar speakers used in the 270 THX system better for a 7.1 setup than using the regular M&K speakers?
...and what if I was to add in a rear center speaker eventually...how about then?
Lol, I realize there is a lot of concern and detail in this post, but this is quite a big purchase for me, so I want to make certain that I make the right choice on systems.
Again, any comments on my predicament & THX Select systems [even other than the two I've mentioned] is certainly welcome -- and indeed hoped for.
Have a nice day everyone, and I hope to hear from you!
