Moving past 7.1(5.1) into 9.1(11.2) upgrade your HT room via AudysseyDSX / DolbyPL IIz / DTS Neo:X™ - Page 9

In my opinion, I find the difference became one of immersion vs. excellent broadcast.

By that I mean, when I go back to 7.1 now I feel the soundstage is forward. When I listen in 11.1, I am there.

I have heard two other 11.1 systems. My friend from school has nearly identical gear, in an open concept basement, and I would say the difference is still as I described it.

Awesome thanks. Your running 11.2? What kind ?

I am using a Marantz 11.2 capable processor, AV8801. I use three five channels amps, and biamp the front L/C/R. total of 14 channels. I brought my heights forward off the front wall for more pop and sizzle. Check out my signature thread for the build. "11.2 HT build"

I am using DTS Neo:X, and loving it.

I hope to get my second sub online soon, and make it a finished 11.2

I recently installed a Denon 4520, and I'm running 9.1 to start, using wide speakers. Also using Neo:X setting. It adds more immersion for sure, at least on the movies I've tried so far - Black Hawk Down and Zero Dark Thirty. I have a 2 channel amp coming, and then I will work on installing height speakers. I was so thrilled with the new Denon and wide speakers, I was going to skip the height speakers, but I'm an all or nothing sort of guy, so that was destined to not last long anyway.
