How good are these Yamaha systems anyways Dain? I don't know if you want to call me on Skype to talk abiout them or E-mail me off list, but I've never heard anything from these guys, so I want to know how good they are. How theatrical they are. You see originally I wanted to use a Bose system, but they don't make 7.1 systems and so many movies are now 7.1. Jurrasic park is now 7.1 for instabnce. Starwars is now 6.1. So you see, what I mean, yeah, I know I said I was using a Bose system before, but it's the Companion 5 system. Don't get me wrong, they are cool for what they are, but that's the thing, they are a virtual surround sound system. It's only 2 speakers. Nothing beats actually having 5 speakers or now with most movies being 6 or 7.1, having 7 speakers. So yeah, if you could fill me in and let me know I'ed appreciate it.

For example you sit in your favourite armchair once you've set the amp up and turn it on, the amp then plays tones through all the speakers and - by using feedback from the microphone you hold - it adjusts the volume for each channel in tern. Well, that's one way of doing it I spose <smile>. On 13/11/2011, at 7:21 PM, Gary Wood wrote: > Bryan!

I use to have a pioneer surond sound system htp 55 that cost about 400 dollars and I really did enjoy listening to music on it in my opinion this is the only way to listen to music. It had great sounding base and II really liked the seperation and concert hall or club effect. You just canâ?Tt get that kind of experence from a 2 speaker system. To the person that did like suround systems for music maybe the speakers were not properly placed or the volume for the indivitual speakers was not properly addjusted. On my system I could do a tone test to check the audio from all of the speakers. Also this person may have a hearing problem and may not be able to detect the sutle differences in the music. Also I have heard alltech lansing speakers and they do have better stereo seperation than anything that I have ever heard. >> To unsubscribe from this list, send a blank email to: >> pc-audio-unsubscr...@pc-audio.org > > > To unsubscribe from this list, send a blank email to: > pc-audio-unsubscr...@pc-audio.org To unsubscribe from this list, send a blank email to: pc-audio-unsubscr...@pc-audio.org To unsubscribe from this list, send a blank email to: pc-audio-unsubscr...@pc-audio.org
