Please help me to setup my HT.

[AnsuzSIN 4]

I put to good use all those CMI (Cannot Make It) components into my TV environment.

My 2 Channel TV sound system included a rather expensive Raidho C4.1 speakers.

In my opinion, I do not even need a sub woofer to watch Youtube Music (2 Channel).

 

Then, I touched materials that are 5.1 or higher and my system don't work.

So I bought inexpensive ONKYO TX-NR696 and a sub woofer, together with all those extra speakers to play 5.1

 

I cannot live with my 5.1.

It's annoying.

 

I am considering using some external poweramps (which I have many - no need to buy) to add to my good old 2 channel TV.

Any brothers out there willing to let me audition / learn about their Multi Channel HT using multiple external amps?

 

I am not talking Multiple Stacking Sub woofers.

I wish to setup a HT system to watch concerts in 5.1 or higher format.

 

Please help to solve my IBP. (Itchy Backside Problem).

I only look and listen, I don't touch.

You can PM me for the privacy.

The unique thing about Dirac is their ability to synchronise the re-routed bass signals at the subwoofer to their original speaker channels - so that even the tiny (in comparison) ceiling speakers can sound like full range

Can somebody tell me if this small thingy can solve my problem?

That it can mali mali hoom change the hdmi input to 2 channel output.

most of all this can only down scale normal 5.1 to 2 ch. 

[AnsuzSIN 4]

Will 2 Channel HT be good enough for me?

Well, I still don't know.

I don't think this will be too difficult for me to find out.

Thanks @Econav for your feedback.

 

I have a private invite to audition : a HT system which I think is assembled for concerts.

Its going to be a very exciting weekend.

Thanks Bro, for the invite.

It's a clear choice between VIRTUAL SURROUND(2ch DSP) and DISCRETE/PHYSICAL** SURROUND(multi-channel separation) and the area you're living in or setting up on.

(**applies to matrix surround on some older movies' presentation where it can often yield 4.0/4.1 effects).

 

If you live in a apartment or setting up in a room where your sweet spot is very close to the screen, or tight space per se, VIRTUAL SURROUND is highly recommended due to space constrain for DISCRETE/MATRIX MULTI-CHANNEL SURROUND setup.
