can bipolar surround speaker on backwall with 5.1
if the other half is picky enough to reject flush mounted, same color in-ceiling speakers, which aren't any more noticable than an HVAC vent, then How's she about the rest of the bulky speakers (including the ones you plan on mounting on back wall... 
can bipolar surround speaker on backwall with 5.1
I'd really like to know your entire layout, the other speakers you are using (crucial), and overall acoustics of your space. Not knowing all of that, my first question would be to know what L/R/C speakers you're using? I'd then match to those. In ... 
AV Receiver good enough for high end audio?
I'm wonding if most posting here can agree that, even if it was possible to build a "super receiver", from which to build your audiophile "hi-end" system around - given the ever changing digital landscape these days - it makes little sense to thro...

For the record, pertaining to all PHD's or credentials of any kind...THIS KIND OF DOCUMENTATION CAN BE BOUGHT OVER THE WEEKEND!!! (Canpick up/purchase anything over the internet these days...it's amazing, really. Has happened at few universities i... 
AV Receiver good enough for high end audio?
As for my syntax, grammar, and or spelling prowess, let me just state for the record here that "it's not that I'm lazy, it's that I just don't care." (Damn it feels good to be a gangsta!!)For the record, make no mistake. I have an audiophile's ear... 
AV Receiver good enough for high end audio?
I'm gunna be the first here to state that neither the Sunfire Ultimate Receiver II, the B&K Ref 507 S2, nor the Arcam 350, and similar ARE NOT high end audio! Let's not loose sight here that, as nice as these pieces may be overall for sonic du...

Once went hunting for wild trout, while on a trip to Texas (DFW area -I think it dirrectly off Harry Heins blvd, er something like that), whilst on a biz trip to install a custom home theater for a client. Got taken by a couple of working girls, w... 
AV Receiver good enough for high end audio?
I personally always thought av receivers is what made preamp features less desireable. Just a different perspective. Not sure what any of this means really... 
AV Receiver good enough for high end audio?
I think Inscrutable put it in perspective best, above here. And IF you were going to use most any sort of AV receiver in the context of some semblance of a "hi-end system", using it as the pre/pro - not the amp sections - is your best bet for qual... 
What's the latest word on the Emotiva UMC-1?
"I don't doubt some people will have troubles. Every processor does" (Robbob)Every processor does? Ok, let us get the record straight on this one. The Emotiva didn't just have "a trouble, or two". It had a MYRIAD of issues! In fact, there was prob... 
What's the latest word on the Emotiva UMC-1?
Nope, I've reconcidered! I'm bitter, and Emotiva ows me an appology, darn it!!!...Oh and I want at least 2 professional reviews on this thing, from a reputable AV magazine/reviewer, before I even remotely consider hearing any of this non sense abo...

Thx Robbob! Ok, I'll buy one. Dunno what I was thinking... 
2 subwoofers and frequency response
Oh, didn't see your post on room size. I'd probably stick with one well placed sub in that smallish space. Two will get croweded aweful fast, unless you get real creative. Also, you have enough output from that single sub in that space. Also, the ... 
2 subwoofers and frequency response
Adding more woofers in a given acoustic space accomplishes many things - and introduces a challenge or two. Dual woofers allows for more dynamic range and efficiency in the bass - more power and surface area equals all the above, plus can help eli...
