aaronboumans · 13th February 2009, 06:06 PM

I have sacd stereo setup and would like to go multichannel
Now I was wondering; would 2 extra (rear)channels be enough?
I dont want a center-channel and absolutly no bass-channel
Anybody?

no experience?
anybody?
do I really need the centerchannel?

When listening at a specific place and the speakers are appropriatly placed there is no need for a center speaker. There are even disks (I have a dvd in mind) where there is no center at all.

Thanks Horexx
but I have decided to go with center channel.
I asked ChannelRecords (Dutch high-end label for classical music of which I am a fan). And Jared Sachs of this label said they do record the center channel albeit at -6db.
And I just bought speakers (via trading-post here) for this centerchannel.
