That's a shame, you might be pleasantly surprised at how good they can sound. Of course, you might be pissed off you wasted the time instead.Lindsayt wrote:I have no intention of going out of my way to hear a bog standard 5.1 system.
I suppose I'm a bit conservative (VERY small 'c') about technology in some ways. I bought a phone to make phone calls and a camera to take pictures with; that sort of thing; where people mutter "Luddite" behind your back. DVDs and Blu-rays all seem to have 5.1 as their lowest common denominator/default setting so I assembled a 5.1 setup. It suits the room size and sounds bloody good to me. Horses for courses I suppose. I'm not trying to sell you on the idea of having 5.1 yourself, I just think it would be a shame if you didn't at least hear a decent home 5.1 setup (not with £7.400 worth of speakers of course) for no other reason than to definitely rule it out if if that's what happens.
