In Reply to: What size room....? posted by grantv on October 17, 2005 at 14:44:30:
As was stated above 7.1 is really just there to better "fill" the space. In my view if you setup your fronts correctly & you are seated between them, you can get away without a center. If you set up your rears in the same way (ie treat them as if they are separate stereo pair), then you will fill the room with sound & do it with only 4 speakers! Even two speakers well setup can be very rewarding.However, not everyone seats located in the "ideal" spot. In some rooms, the chairs are off to the side, the rears are in odd spots or are too small. So a center become necessary. So too additional speakers for 7.1 to better fill the room, because of where people are seated. But these are compromises, to deal with less than ideal placement of people & speakers.
The main thing to remember is your room is NOT a Theatre! In a theater, you want to fill the place to make money & you need lots of speakers so everyone can hear. Most of the sound track is MONO! (How is that for advancement!!) At home you have some more control & if you spend the time, you can get a great sounding setup.
