Hi, would like to ask the objective opinions of this forum for my particular situation...
I am ready to upgrade my speaker system. Right now, I have an Onkyo 6.1 HTIB. I've also recently moved to a new apartment with a much bigger living room where the entertainment center is located which measures 15x15x9. The sofa is located pretty much in the middle of this space, maybe a foot or so closer to the rear.
The back of the right side opens up to the kitchen/dining area, about 13x19. The left side is the entrance way to two bedrooms, measures 6x6.
After long consideration I'm ditching the idea of surround sound; I am pretty sure I will go with a 2.1 system using the Ascend 340SE's as the L/R for aesthetic reasons as well as space saving measures. Leaning towards a SVS PB10 for the sub.
Now would a 2.1 system be good for my uses? My habits are 90% Movies/TV/Games and 10% music (though I hope that this will change with the new speakers...)
What do you guys think? Please advise!
Thanks,
Greg
