I am setting up a home theater room 12'x30' (the length will be cut down some, as I will be probably putting a 5' component room behind the screen).
I will be going with a set of Ascent i or Odyssey's for the front and will be trying to pick up a used Theater i center channel for them.
I have a friend selling a near-new Marantz 9600 fairly cheap (didn't like it) so I was thinking of starting with that to save some money and then upgrade from that at a later time.
I currently own two sets of paradigm signature ADP's (di-poles).
My question is this:
Would I be better off to go with a 5.1 system with all Martin Logan (pick up a set of script i for the rear) or do a 7.1 system with the Martin Logan front and center and use the paradigm signature ADP's?
The way I see it is the 5.1 system has the advantage of having all the speakers the same for tonal matching and it frees up two of the 9600's amps so the fronts can be bi-amped.
I think the 7.1 system would have the advantage of setting up a better sound field in the room.
Ideas?
Thanks!
