This is getting a little ridiculous I mean come on 11.2 channels. Were would you put that many. I probably couldn't event put that many on my house yet alone in a threater room. Why is there that many channels? Why was this even made?

    Meh, it seems they have four zones, I could easily see distributing 11 "channels" among four zones, even in my smallish house.

    5.1 in the "theater" room, and then 3 other rooms with two channels each? Seems complicated, but reasonable for a whole-house system.
    If you will it, dude, it is no dream.

    This is how Yamaha has it. It's made just for one room.:eek:

    Ha! Then I agree that is ridiculous unless your room is the size of a warehouse :)

    Doesn't say much for Yami's speaker imaging. Does it come with 500' of wire?
    Please. Please contact me a ben62670 @ yahoo.com. Make sure to include who you are, and you are from Polk so I don't delete your email. Also I am now physically unable to work on any projects. If you need help let these guys know. There are many people who will help if you let them know where you are.
    Thanks
    Ben

    When I built my audio room, I prewired it for a 10.2 speaker configuration. Tomlinson Holman (as in THX) has been experimenting with this format for some time. It would be interesting to hear a demo of this receiver in a properly configured room.
    All truth passes through three stages. First, it is ridiculed, second it is violently opposed and third, it is accepted as self evident.

    I agree that's all my system is and my neighbor when he bought his its capable of 7.1 but all he wants is 5.1.

    I'm thinking its a gimmick to take the focus off of Yamaha's "Natural" sound. :D

    That's what I was thinking... After I calibrated, the imaging was fantastic. :D

    11.2 is silly.
