R7 set + R300 + PSW10 setup questions
Hi there,
I have an Onkyo TX-SR508 receiver and two R300 speakers, I recently bought an R75 set (contains one R7 center speaker and 4 R7 satellite speakers), and a psw10 subwoofer.
I set off to setup my first home theater, but have lots of confusions this my first time, I hope somebody can help answer my questions
1. After purchase I read in the forum, it seems R7 speakers and R300 do not match (small vs big). Some say CSR is the best match for R300. So the question is how bad is it? Is it better for me to not use the R300 in the setup at all (instead just have 5.1 setup) ?
2. If I go with 7.1 setup, I assume R300 will be best choice for front speaker, right?
3. If I go with 7.1 setup, I will have front/surround, the other two speakers should them be at front high or surround back? The setup guide said both are ok, but I am not sure which one I should use.
4. If use these speakers for karaoke, will it be better to disconnect some of the speakers (satellite/subwoofer)?
5. If I want to upgrade the system gradually, what should I upgrade first?
Thank you very much for helping!
