LOL it want that bad was it. HAHA

LOL ya I know what you mean. But at age 15 I was starting to understand things about audio, and now look lol. Sometimes I have to shake my head at some of the best buy guys. Trying to sell me monster cable now come on! HAHA oh boy what can of worms did I just open up. :wtf2:

lol oh i know.. some of the people i worked with were just tools when it came to this ****. it was funny though cause i had a couple people come in and speak to me and after a little while left saying i was the first and only knowledgeable person they met in BBs HT dept.. hahaha

One guy asked me what speakers were my fav, ML naturally, and he started asking me different things about them, to which he already knew the answer but just wanted to see how much I knew. He said I was the first associate that even knew where the name came from (it's the middle names of the two founders).

I did not know that lol, but ya I know what you mean. What do you use for your music apple tv?

Also what is your thoughts on putting your rear speaker side by side like in that THX speaker diagram?

you mean having them positioned on either side of the couch like in their 5.1 diagram.. thats what my set up will be.

No, if you look at the 7.1 diagram it shows the rear speakers behind you directly side by side.

I am guessing they say do that because your surrounds are taking care of the side rear fill.

eh seems just like a 6.1 setup to me. don't see the point then really..

6.1 ftw!!

Ya, but I am not sure. I use to have a creative 6.1 setup for my computer and that was not bad. If that is the case about just pairing your rear speakers like a center there is no point to having 7.1.

Exactly.. in that configuration i don't see the point.

But than again who are we to argue with THX or Lucius lol

Try it out if you have 7 speakers.. see if you notice a difference.. lol

I will I just have to get a set of side firing speakers first. And wait for my beastly pioneer elite to arrive. Yes for home audio I do use pioneer HAHA

lol me 2!
