Until now I have always had a 5.1 setup for movies so this would be a big departure - would appreciate thoughts on whether I should go with 2ch only - or try to find a center and rears that would fit (maybe from the Tradition series..?)
Any advice appreciated! |
In this situation, there is going to be some sort of compromise no matter what. Personally, if I was determined to use the Aida IIs, I would have a 6.2 set up with all Aida II speakers. 3 at the front and 3 as surrounds. I would then mount a tv from the ceiling that would be tilted above the centre Aida II. When seated, I would recline so that I would be able to view the tv from an ideal angle. Not perfect, but for me it would be the best overall compromise if I was set on using the Aida IIs for home theatre.
