Buying 7-cable set, only using 5... ok to do? - 09/13/04 03:44 PM

I will be running the 950/755, so I only need 5 cables. However, at some point in the future I may add two more surrounds abd the amps for 7.1.

So, if I get the 7-cable set, is there a cover that comes with the cables... or some other way to isolate the unused connectors?

Thanks,

PeteH

There's no problem with getting all of them now. The cables will come in a series of heavy duty plastic "zip lock" type bags, and you could leave the extra set in one of those bags indefinitely if you wanted to.

Nope, if you buy 7 cables you have to go to 7.1, sorry that's just the way it is. Well, at least that what I would try to make everyone believe.

well... If I could convince my wife that two more Boston Bravos would look great on the ceiling, then I'd be doin' 7.1 right now!

Till then, I'm sporting mad 5.1 power... I bought the 950/755/LFM1 package and I love it.
