Can't believe this - having only just got into HC, and buying that RS package (For those that care or remember) I popped to GuyB's place last week and purchased a subwoofer. Much better system. Lovely in fact.
The I got some advice about setting up for the redesigned front room. All was ready to go, I even went looking for paint colours!
Then, Peter was kind enough (I think...) to advertise his full set of Boston 90x's on classifieds for a price that I just couldn't ignore (I kind of feel like I robbed him for 200 quid....).
So, the bottom line is, I did have a 5.1 processor (Sherwood RD6108R), a front room that is about to be redecorated, a set of Moviestar 6's, a Kef KSW2000 sub, and now I have all that and 6 x Boston 90x's and a Boston 90c
The room is about to be redocarated, and I know next to nothing about anything beyond 5.1 (Yep, I've searched and read, but still need advice...). Obviously, I am fully aware that I am limited to 5.1 until I upgrade the amp, but I want to future plan the speaker installation so I use it at 5.1 until such a time as I upgrade, but when I do the speakers are already there for the upgrade to happen (Still with me here? Good - I'm totally lost!!!)
I'll show the pic again of my current setup...
This seems like a daft question - but do I ditch the Moviestars for the Boston setup, or do I simply "plumb" in the Bostons and upgrade the speakers at the same time as the amp? Or do I ditch the Moviestars now and use 5.1 through the Boston setup, whilst having having a 7.1 install??
Am I right in assuming the extra 2 speakers should be front facing from the rear, left and right of the focal point?
Help me!! I'm confused!!!
