In your case I would try to get a center speaker that is a good match for your mains and not worry as much about the rears for now. In the mean time I would just use what you have for movies, if your room will allow for it you might be able to set it up with no center at all (works best in larger rooms). I have never watched a newer movie that was in DD or DTS that sounded better without surround and can only laugh to my self when I hear someone try to tell people other wize. Enjoy your movies.
Any surround better than none at all?
Hi everyone, I'm brand new to these boards, so please be gentle!
Background: I have just recently purchased:
Rotel DSP-1066 and RMB-1075 with a pair of Aeon's (have an 'i' after them, would be interested if any of you know what that means), and a depth sub. This is far superior to any gear I have ever had the pleasure of owning, so I'm pretty exited about it.
My question is this:
My main goal is music, i'm a 2ch junkie, but feel the need to finish it for the full movie effect. My old system (total garbage) did have a cerwin vega center and bose rear bookshelfs (please don't laugh). As the parts above were more than I ever expected my wife to allow me to get, I am unable to purchase new rears or center at this time.
Should I even bother hooking them up for movie use or will it demolish any gains by having the ML's by using trash for a center and rear?
Watched our first movie on it last weekend and I was a bit dissapointed by having no surround, but the quality of the system was well beyond any expectations.
I guess I could just hook it up and try it, but wondered what your opinions would be before I start pulling cable.
