Re: Integrating HT into audio only setup. Wish me luck.

I would recommend using Monster Video Silver component video cables and keeping it under 4 meters. The Canare is supposed to be good for the money also.

Have you looked at a low end video projector like the new $3K Sony ?? Front projection adds a realism that's hard to beat.

The timbre matching is important for the front left/right/center when sounds are panned. If there is a different speaker or amp, there could be a difference. Guess the only way to find out is to try it.

Also, you mentioned that the rear speakers would be 10 feet behind the listening position. If you're doing Dolby Digital and DTS 5.1 try the speakers initially at one foot behind the listening position, then move them back until you get the best ambient sound. They don't have to point at the listening position.

As far as integrating systems, I didn't. Have a separate set up for theater and one for 2 channel audio. I realize this is not practical or realistic for everyone.


Enjoy the music.
