Your Anthem's room correction software will match DB levels from all your speakers in your HT configuration so matching should not be a problem. I believe the center channel speaker is important to get right as far as sound quality. Surrounds are less important. I use Axiom QS8's for my surrounds and they work great. I also don't believe you'd be missing out on too much if you were to go with 5.1 instead of 7.1.
Von Schweikerts for HT: setup and combination.
Putting together a new dedicated HT. I have a pair of VR4 Srs (first edition) that I would like to use. I've already purchased a LCR4 as a center.
I have an Anthem D2V and P5, and Oppo 95.
The room is 16 x 28 ft, and still being worked on.
My questions:
1) Will the VR4 Sr (older version) pair well with the LCR4? Or is the older LCR15 a better match?
2) 5.1 or 7.1? (Leaning toward 5.1)
3) If 5.1, what are your thoughts about the better option: TS-150 as "sides", or what would you recommend for "rears"?
Your thoughts would be appreciated.
