Went from 7.1 to 2ch

I tried for the best of both worlds with an all Revel 7.1 system. It was great and 2 channel music was terrific as well, but my life circumstances have changed (got divorced, moved to a smaller place) where 7.1 seemed to be overkill, so I put all the surrounds and the sub into storage and just use the Revel Studios.

I REALLY like the new set up. I find movies just as engaging, the bass from my full range speakers is solid (at least to 30kHz) and the soundstage 3D and solid to the point where I'm not missing the surround effects.

I can't say that I won't go back to at least 5.1 when I have the right room, but I don't think I will suffer in the meantime. I do think that my situation might be a bit exceptional with the Studios, a Halcro MC7 set up in bi-amp configuraton, Anthem D2 PrePro and Oppo BPD 93 with EquiTech and Richard Grey backing it all up.

I suspect though, with proper speaker positioning and a sub-woofer if necessary, that most folks could be pretty happy with a 2 or 2.1 channel set up for their music and movie sound needs.
