In Reply to: RE: Help out a Reviewer - Adding Home Theater to 2 Channel System posted by RGA on September 20, 2017 at 19:50:59
claims that the centre channel of a Video system is THE main sound source.
All else is secondary, redundant even.
That said; Unless playing Medal of Honour or other such drivel.
Multi channel is pointless
Do you Really ? need to hear "Arnold' in 'glorious' 5.1.
Follow Ups:
I currently have a simplistic home theater set-up and I do enjoy the rear effects in both Video games such as Dragon Age or Mass Effect or the Last of Us. And I enjoy it in films like The Thing as the helicopter flying overhead and behind you adds to the overall enjoyment.
Is it necessary? No. But then a stereo system of any kind isn't necessary - we can watch youtube through the TV screen with earbuds or TV speakers.
I've often said the same thing about home theater back in the mid 90s with Dolby Pro-Logic. But my current Marantz 5.1 surround receiver for a whole $350 sounds way WAY better than my mid 1990s $2,000 Pioneer Elite.
I don't think surround makes a movie better - it is simply an enhancement of the experience. And I quite liked the first two Terminator films.
...have room for a center channel speaker, but I don't.
For the past 9 years I have not used a center channel speaker, just two fronts and two rears and I can hear everything on video just fine.
