Hi guys,
I've been contemplating replacing the two Polk surrounds that I have in my 5.1 set up with three Orb Audio Mod 2's as surrounds to achieve a 6.1 set up which is how I wired the house while it was being built( I know 7.1 would have been better but oh well) I'm doing this b/c this is the only way to get a 6.1 system considering the WAF. This is the compromise I am making to add another channel to the mix. Am I better off just staying with the 5.1 book shelves? My current speaker set up is.

Polk LSI 15 fronts
Polk Lc265i center
Polk Rti28 surrounds
Outlaw LFM-1 Plus subwoofer
Onkyo 905

I watch TV/movies about 70% of the time and music(SACD/DVD-A)/360/PS3 30% of the time. I have a HDDVD and Pan BD30 bluray player as well.

Thanks!

    Don't do anything Orb wise with your current setup. Trust me, and just be patient - there will be a micro speaker timbre matched to your mains in the future. ;)
    Check your lips at the door woman. Shake your hips like battleships. Yeah, all the white girls trip when I sing at Sunday service.
