現用Ikon 7位置係放組合櫃前面，正搵緊影音架，所以未發現有booming程況

Dear all,

Is it o.k. to use existing 2 channel stereo setup to build up 5.1 home theatre!! My friend told me that it may not be a good idea because there may have "coherence" problem.

If I use my existing 2 channel setup!! I will keep using my pre + power to drive my front channel speaker.

And then I will buy mid price/ low price av amp to drive center speaker  and rear speaker!! (av amp pre out to connect my 2 channel pre + power to drive my front speaker.)

Of course!! I will use same brand front and center speaker!!

What do u think!?

Is it o.k.!?


Tks.

Hi!! Ryanenen!!

Yesterday, I visited some HiVi showroom!! They all told me that it's better to keep my 2 channel setup to drive front channel, instead of using AV amp to drive the front channel!! (Of course!! I need to use same brand center and front speaker!!).

The salesman told me that I can manipluate the "sound" and "speed" at the AV Amp, if I find that there is "coherence" problem. Sounds attractive if I can keep using my front speaker as front channel speakers.

He also told me that what I want is just buying "better" center speaker and mid price AV amp only. (rear speaker - just depend on yr budget!!)

Besides, just find that Revel release a new wireless subwoofer!! Very funny of not using i/c, but still need to have a powercord to connect subwoofer!!

My front speaker is a pair of Audio Physic Caldera, driven by a set of Soulution pre + Power.

My budget is 30-40k.  I have the following options!!

1) A set of 5.1 Dali Ikon speaker (HKD24K approx.) + (15k approx) AV amp = <40k (I think I can get some discount!!)

2) AudioPhysic Center speaker (<20k) + Dali on wall rear speaker (4k) + Subwoofer (<7k) + <10k AV amp = <41k (I think I should pay less!!)

I'm sure that Option 2 should be more expensive than Option 1, but I'm really not sure that the result is good or not!? Anyway, I have no need to hang the front speaker at the wall if I choose Option 2!!

插句嘴....如果HIFI AMP DRIVE 前置...中置, 後置由AV AMP DRIVE...咁HIFI 前級點樣同AV 後級COOPERATE...
