Pelican audiophiles... what is 7.1 and why is it better than the 5.1 I got now?
Okay so the recent thread on sub woofers reminds me I was thinking of upgrading me receiver. So what is all this about 7.1, do I need to add more speakers?
I'm on a low budget so my current system is a JVC with 120W X5 channel (yeah I wanted a Dennon but couldn't afford it) it does have optical in/outs.
I picked up a set of the JBL surrounds (good but not great)
The fronts were weak on bass so I replaced them with two Sony towers 2X 6" 1X 4" and a dome tweeter (these gave me more of the bass guitar range I like) and moved the small JBL fronts to my bedroom. Finally I added a CV 15" 250W sub to shake things up a bit.
I see Sony makes a nice receiver in the 120W/channel range with 7.1 somewhere around $1000+.
So anyone want to help me justify dropping some more change on my system that works fine and sounds good?
