4 Months to live...what have I done?

BurrInspector

Am seriously thinking about 7 channel surround but dunno what i should get...
I can purchase another pair of RTi A9's but they will be back surrounds and am not sure how i could run them with multi channel stereo or how they would sound?

Also having a chat with a friend of mine (one that i borrowed the Emotiva XPA 5 from), i was suggested that i use the second pair of RTi A9's as front wides and get smaller bookshelf's or RTi A5 or 7 for surrounds.
Would having 4x RTi A9's provide a better front stage?
His going to upgrade his current system with 4 B&W 683's for the front stage and insists that its the best thing ever...is it so?

Why not go all in and put in a Dolby Atmos setup while you're at it? Pioneer offers Atmos on their Elite receivers now.

That might be something for the future upgrades when I have a dedicated room. Also I purchased a Denon 4520CI already.
For now I have an opportunity to get another pair of speakers at a good discounted price and so I was wondering if I should get another set for 7 channel surround or use both Rti a9 sets for front stage and get speakers for surround.

@txcoastal1 Order for the 2x FV15hp placed.

I think you will be impressed. Once you get the feel I also doubt, (unless you have a dedicated HT) that you will need more then two subs. Proper placement will be the key.

I am excited for you, as I will probably go the exact same route of purchase unless I do a DIY pair for listening room as I close on property for my new hoe build tomorrow. (looking at 18 months before move in )

keep us in tune

I know the feeling man, I have waited far too long, and now when I can purchase a decent system the decisions are killing me.
Am actually in the same boat, I will be adding on to the current house early next yeah, two more bedrooms, a large entertainment room and a dedicated HT room under it all. So a rather large dedicated basement with seating for atleast 8.

But for the dual purpose room I have now the dual fv15hp would definitely be thunderous.
Am glad you are looking at the fv15hp's aswell. It will be good to exchange some tips on getting the best sound.

Keep us posted on how you get along.. Anything you are dead set on apart from the subs?

You really need to communicate with Geoff4rfc, he has 4 x RTiA9's, has had them as both front wide and rear surround.

Yeah i found his post bout the RTi for front stage...sent him a PM.
I see you run the FXi A6's, how are they for surround?

Brilliant, bought them in from the States for around $500 Au, they want around $700 here.
