Hiall!:cool:
I found this following quote on the VT-12 Ventriloquist speakers page under the specs.
___________________________________
In addition to the sound quality, a special rear center channel allows 6 channel sound from 5 channel sources. The system works by matrixing the back rear channels.

Question. I'm thinking about buying a 7.1 channel Onkyo 606 which has alot of heating issues, I know, but originally ONLY going to use the 5.1 channel.
This 10'w x 15'L x 8'h room is kind of small for a 7.1 channel system. TV hung on the long wall. Sitting around 9' opposite TV.
This Performance 1 speaker package is a 6.1 channel package. In the above quote, does it mean that the "special rear" 6th channel speaker is different than the other four satellite speakers as far as being matched?
Would I get a better effect buying another pair of matched satellites (if the the VT-12 are different than that rear 6th speaker to maybe go for the 7.1?
If I have a center,two fronts,two rears,a sub, I would have to purchase an addtional satelite speaker for the two side (L&R) to get the full 7.1 effects? Seems silly for a small room to put speakers in the corner,then another one 5' away on both the right and left side walls for this small room.
Does HSU sell 5.1 channel systems, or only 6.1?
Will that 6th rear center do anything at all as far as maximizing the surround effects,or is it just another center voice speaker that happens to be in the back?
EDIT - The next day-----
I was just looking at the Yamaha RX-V563,and it comes with DTS:NEO 6, which matrixes the rear center channel into the rear L&R channels. In this case, I could either use this 6th rear center channel, or put it in storage and buy two additional $40.00 satellites for the sides...one over the couch in center of wall,and one on the right side on the wall before the wall turns into the kitchen. Bummer about this AVR is it's not Energy start compliant. ( good thing, Hdmi 4in, 1out)
So what's better.... 6.1,or 7.1?
