First post from a lurker over the years. I'm moving house and looking at upgrading my current 5.1 system.
Source wise, I generally watch things recorded from sky hd as opposed to discs.
I'm currently thinking either the Sony 1060 with 7.2 (with front highs as my front 3 are close-ish together) or the pioneer lx58 & a 9.2. I've got enough speakers after some ebay purchases of identical rear speaks a while back. The room is fairly large, although there is only about 1.5m between me and the rear wall.
A few questions if I may,
1) Are front high channels achieved through electronic wizardry? I guess so
2) If I watch something with a 5.1 soundtrack, will the amp use similar wizardry to make something appear out of the centre rears, or will they just be silent?
3) Will 4k broadcasts, when they arrive, (or streaming) have more channels than 5.1?
Thanks in advance
