seti Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 Most people have trouble getting two channels right so what are the odds of get 5 or more right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JJkizak Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 I have run the gamut and end up lately with 3.1 with everything unless the Denon won't let me do it. JJK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beeker Posted May 31, 2014 Author Share Posted May 31, 2014 I have switched things up big time officially as of tonight. All klipsch and using solid state with some processing. running full analog 2.2 and its so nice...running all new material as well...material and running the full analog 2.2 has blown my doors off. I might be cleaning house of a lot of old gear. Got my new custom leather chairs and its just about like cheating life....cheers 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eth2 Posted May 31, 2014 Share Posted May 31, 2014 I find that 2 channel setup maximizes the fine harmonic hum in my tube amps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lovedrummin Posted June 3, 2014 Share Posted June 3, 2014 (edited) I still enjoy DVD-A and SACD on occasion, but I've gotten back into 2 channel lately. I have a pair of Reference RB5II speakers in my surround system and I'd almost forgotten how good the bass is on those babies.

Rhetor Posted June 3, 2014 Share Posted June 3, 2014 (edited) When I am in the basement workshop, 2 channel 100% of the time: Khorns on a Pioneer SX9000, for vinyl or CDs. In the HT, where I moved my home office desk, 2.1 for vinyl listening on K-horns on a Scott 299 C, but 11 Heritage channels and a Martin Logan Depth i sub on a Denon 4311 with a Phase Linear 400 for the Khorn fronts for movies. Not much of a music experience for me beyond 2 channels. Not much of a movie experience for me without surround setup.

beeker Posted June 5, 2014 Author Share Posted June 5, 2014 I switched into a different setup now with 2.1 klipsch mains still with my normal radian 18's...still on a synthesizer 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jtubbs6117 Posted June 9, 2014 Share Posted June 9, 2014 I find that when I use my main system which is everyday it is normally HT(NEWS ,TV ect), But when I am working around the house or just taking some time to really listen to music it is always 2ch. The only time I use HT for music would be if the format called for it. I enjoy an opportunity to let my RF7's do what they do best, play with authority. My reference to taking time to listen is when I get time to dedicate to just turning off the TV and just listening to new or old tunes.

Sancho Panza Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 I use my TV, or a 2d TV, to view the Album Art, Track Info, et Cetera. Have noticed some TV, the kind like News & Some Sport broadcasts, that have but little, or no surround material, sound better in 2.2. I imagine that will change, once I get a LS, or better for a Center; which will be, essentially, for that type broadcast, 3.2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kent T Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 I am a 2 channel purist. And will be that way until I die. And prefer no subwoofers save few. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AccessDenied Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 I'm new to this community... Here is my first post! I'm a young guy, just graduated college, and I've never really enjoyed the crazy set-ups my friends all have... First off I can't afford to drop 5-10k on a system like some people. But I did invest in a pair of RB-35s and have a two channel setup to my Pioneer vsx822 going to my Samsung HDTV. I Honestly don't need much more than that! I'm still trying to find the perfect way to set this up, but right now I have it bi-wired to the receiver and it sounds good to me... I'll be in and around these threads trying to find some advice on my setup, and perhaps a good Center to invest in down the road. Thanks for reading! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
