surround

Hello, I'm looking at these speakers to finish off my HT. I'm using Thiel 1.5s for my surrounds and JBL L20T for the rear surrounds. I would like to get a pair of speakers that could be mounted onto the wall for my surrounds. What do you think? Can I get something better at this price point?

Hello everyone, you might be terrorized (that's the goal) but if you read it i should convince you that it's reasonable. I was constantly joking about doing 5.1 on apple dongles ever since I realised how easy splitting 6 channels between 3 devices would be. So one day I got convinced that the...

After reading about the new Schiit Syn I asked myself again if surround sound processing for stereo content is worth it . The Schiit is using one of the most simple ways to 'upmix' to surround by just playing the difference between L and R on the rear speakers to create a surround ambience. Home...

DALI calls its wireless active speaker line Equi, and it is available at multiple price points (Rubicon, Callisto, and Oberon). What I think distinguishes it from, say, JBL, or KEF LS speakers, is the ability to do up to 7.1 surround completely wirelessly (not counting power cords, of course...

This is a question that comes up a lot: how loud must those surround speakers go compared to the fronts? While it's very tempting to just have all speakers of the same model, it is often impractical and economically undesirable. So what gives? What can you get away with? Instinctively, my...

Hello ASR, I'm trying to finish building out my 5.1 surround setup in my home studio. I currently have two Adam A77Xs and three Adam A7Xs working with a MOTU UltraLite mk5. I'm getting ready to buy a subwoofer and I've been disappointed with the Adam subwoofer options as they are not designed...

I am looking for a way do extract the 6 discreet channels of audio from a 5.1 surround signal when watching streaming (Netflix etc). currently my set up is: Roku (streaming source) > Toslink connection to Motu 828es > EKIO crossover on PC > 5-way speakers I am looking for a way to separate the...

Hi everyone, New to HT and wanting some suggestions on what to implement given my room size. See here for a photo of my room layout: Note: On the far RHS, across the 90% of the 4.9m length, are curtains. Note: Still deciding between sub placement (either SW1 or SW2 in photo above) - SW2...

Hi, I've been experimenting a little with 4.0 surround lately by adding two surround channels to my usual stereo setup. I did so using the PC motherboard output for rear channels, while routing front channels to the DAC, and it has convinced me of the benefits of surround. The setup is in a...

First, here's the equipment I have: DAC = Sennheiser GSX 1200 pro AMP = Monoprice Headphone Desktop Amplifier (https://www.monoprice.eu/collections/receivers/products/monoprice-eu-desktop-headphone-amplifier) Headphones = Beyerdynamic DT 990 250 Ohm I used to have the Beyerdynamic MMX 300...

So I get the concept of matching timbre for the front speakers. There will be small deviations and characteristics in the frequency response and the build and the drivers,, even if the general trend measures the same, and you want that match for your for your front soundstage. However, is timbre...

What the title says. I've been intrigued by multichannel audio for some time. I will probably not invest in a multichannel rig in the near future, but nevertheless I remain intrigued. My listening is about 30 percent classical, 30 percent jazz, 40 percent rock and pop, and 10 percent...
