Nighthawk Posted August 3, 2001 Author Share Posted August 3, 2001 Cruzer: Home theater? 5.1? I personally only listen to music at this time so I really only use two speakers, but since the set of speakers that I wanted to match is discontinued, I wanted to get them all before they were completely gone. Plus, I know someday I will want to watch/listen to movies in 5.1 or better. It's up to you, obviously, but 2-channel just sounds so real to me now, unlike anything else. They all sound very "echoed" and run together as compared to 2-channel. But, to each his own ------------------ Tim "Nighthawk" Admire Mains: Klipsch KSB 3.1 Rears: Klipsch KSB 1.1 Center: Klipsch KSC-C1 Sub: Yamaha 8" Receiver: Yamaha HTR-5240 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boa12 Posted August 3, 2001 Share Posted August 3, 2001 if u put on a 5.1 channel source w/ most units that have direct modes, you'll get output on all 5 channels, and the sub if there's any lfe. but usually not so w/ 5.1 in a 2-channel mode. if u want 5-channel stereo w/ minimal dsp effect, u really need a receiver/dsp capable of that. not to belittle some yammy units cruzer & others. u wouldn't want to get rid of your 20s, but may want to look into that for a receiver/preamp. but hey i had a sony that didn't have a good 5-channel stereo mode, but still preferred listening to a lot of 2-channel music w/ it's 4 channel dsp music modes like "live house". just needed to turn way down the rear delay & reverb like things.

RWMIN Posted August 3, 2001 Share Posted August 3, 2001 No DSP for me. Sometimes I listen to 2 ch stereo and direct but mostly I really like 5 ch stereo. For me there's nothing better then 5 Legends hammering away in stereo.

HornEd Posted August 3, 2001 Share Posted August 3, 2001 Hmmm, RWMIN, was I wrong when my ears asked for eight Legends? KLF 30's at mains, side/surrounds, front center and rear effects... KLF 10's on high for front effects... and Twin SVS Ultras fed by 1,000 watts to "bottom round" the Legend Sound Sorry, friend, I just couldn't resist your "nothing could be finer" and hoped that tweaking instinct was still intact... like hoping you might follow your ears and add a few Legends one fine day. In the meantime, you have a lot to enjoy... so get to it! HornEd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruzer Posted August 4, 2001 Share Posted August 4, 2001 I am going to upgrade my Yammy with another Yammy (RX-V300). I want to follow Horned's advice and take advantage of the front and rear effects. BTW, I am using the kLF-20s as rear surrounds, C-7 center, KSB-3s front effects and KSW-12. Not bad... ------------------ Cruzer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jhawk92 Posted August 8, 2001 Share Posted August 8, 2001 I'll throw my $0.02 in with RWMIN. I avoid DSP modes like the plague, ever since I started with a Pro Logic receiver. All my my music is in 2-ch, direct, or, and this is what I like about the newer Denon receivers, 5-ch stereo. While I don't have room/money/etc for matching speakers all around, having 7 speakers (Forte II, KV-4, 2-pr KG 1.2) going at once is quite an impressive sound stage. The 5/7-ch stereo option off a receiver like my AVR4800 pipes the music to all 7 speakers (sometimes sub) with little or no additional processing. What I'd love to see is a high quality receiver that puts most of the oomph into amps, circuitry, a better than average FM/AM receiver, and minimal surround modes. Maybe that way they could trim the price a bit since I rarely use all the extra modes, but I'd love to have great power and clarity for the modes I do use. Ok, so my $0.02 may have actually been $0.25. jhawk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
