RE: How many subs? and should I go from 5.1 to 7.1?

Posted by cfraser on March 8, 2010 at 15:17:18:
I was speaking of the practicality, not the theory. Just how many people (seating positions) do we have in a *small* room? Anybody sitting near a wall is screwed, the bass/LFE lack of smoothness is the least of their audio problems. And the practicality of placing more sub(s) so somebody isn't sitting almost on top of one in the small room, which is worse for them than "lack of bass smoothness".

Sure, if you can work out the practicalities with regards to space/seating, another sub is theoretically better.

I always say (and feel free to disagree) that there is only ONE optimum listening location in a typical HT room. And that place is MINE. Nobody else has to know, how would they since the only paying customer is always in it. :)
