Hello all, I am wondering if I will notice much difference running six speakers instead of five. My system consists of H/K AVR 230 Athena AS-B2 mains AS-C1 Centre S5 rear surrounds HSU STF-2
I am thinking of running an AS-R1 centre rear surround. The channel is there on the receiver, but will I notice much difference? Is my receiver upgradable to 7.1 and if so how? I appreciate any help or opinions. Thanks, Derek
honestly, adding the extra rear speaker, while nice, adds little over a properly set up 5.1 system.
There are very few disks that have the 6.1 encoding.
A properly set up 6.1 will add a little smoother surround with complex sound effects. But again, a well set up 5.1 set up is fantastic, and I personally wouldn't spend the money again for the 6th speaker were I to do it over.
