Center channel ? Battle of bottom shelf ?Sad times

Not open for further replies.
So just leave the surround on top of fronts Dolby pro logic 1 is so terribly obsolete.. hence the tiny surrounds ..
 
Dupe post deleted per member request.
 
The prologic rear channel was just trying to work some psychoacoustic tricks. Little wisps of sound behind you to make you sense more of an immersive experience.

And that was, what, 25 years ago? 30? We've come so far.

Modern cinematic audio requires Real Damn Speakers in the rear channel. they can be smaller, they don't have to have THX-certified bass, but they should be real, actual, decent speakers that you would listen to music on, perhaps with the help of a subwoofer.

Small bookshelves on stands work fine.

Nice wish I had spent more for integra when I had the money instead of onkyo , this Sony Ian a dinosaur but it’s all I’ve got for my downstairs system.

I’ll get model name soon it’s beyond obsolete .
 
@ultumax I've already told you about Dolby Pro-logic in my previous posts. If you can't have the (limited) monophonic rear channel coming out of a speaker at the rear like it should, then just remove the rear speaker(s) completely. Don't wire additional connections to other channels, you'll create unwanted effects doing that. If you are not using the rear channel as it was intended to be used, don't use it at all. Concentrate on having a good centre and front left / right setup and you will be much happier with it.

Most of us posting here are trying to help you but you do make it hard because of your constant asking of the same questions and not listening to or acting upon many of the good suggestions and advice you have been given.

The whole point of having surround sound is that it comes from all around you. if you are not going to have a rear speaker (because you say you cannot wall mount one), then having the rear sound coming from the front is not how pro-logic works so you are defeating the purpose of it. If you don't use it properly, don't use it at all - the only sound you will 'lose' is a very limited mono channel that's really not worth worrying about.

Don't waste your time, he probably doesn't even remember what questions he's asking as he's posting between multiple threads, asking all different types of questions, sometimes twice in a row albeit a few minutes apart, while constantly going off topic.

Obviously I don’t understand Dolby prologic or why the surrounds don’t do much at all .
I don’t see The troubles of wall mounting them to outweigh the benefits. Since no Dolby digital

It's all good, I'm just helping the guy out. I actually enjoy these threads as a bit of light relief - whether @ultumax actually takes on board any of the advice given doesn't really bother me. It's all audio, no attitude, right ? :-)
