Another experiment I want to try, once my bipolar surrounds arrive, is to see if I can still manage to get 6.1 or 7.1 to sound decent in my living room.


I'm going to try an experiment tonight: Putting the surround speakers in front of me halfway between the mains and my listening position and the back surrounds behind me at an elevation. Then diddle with the delay setting.

As I've sampled several film tracks over the past three days, I've thought that this might create a more dynamic sound field that would immerse you in the surround effects.

If it works, it could be part of a solution for those who want 7.1 but lack the space in the rear.

We shall see ...
