Hi all,
The other night I tried my system with a Centre Rear speaker....
I'm going to give you my opinion but first I must admit that the centre rear isn't tone-ally (?) matched to the L/R rear.
I can only use 6.1 on DVD either as a true ES (I used Gladiator) or as Matrixed 6.1
Here is what I found...
BLOODY AWFULL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
On The Matrix, Roof scene (bullit time) it actually muddled the sound from all three rears and during Gladiator it was just like more noise which I actually found quite irritating!
I was expecting to be blown away by it all but alas, it wasn't to be.
In about a million years when I have enough money to get my own place (see under my name for explanation..... ) I may try again with having all speakers WAY behind the listening position at ear level.
Who has tried 6.1 and what did you think?
Thanks
