Client has a 5.1 system in the family room and remodeling the kitchen now. Would like TV sound to reach into the kitchen from time to time but not all the time. The receiver is 7.1 so I could run two more speakers and use the all channel stereo mode, but not sure if it would provide enough intelligibility on dialogue. What do you think?
Other options include left and right preamp out to outboard amp, but I know there would be times that Dolby Digital would give me no dialogue in the kitchen.
Could use a second zone, but then we have time delay issues.
There is no truth anymore. Only assertions. The internet world has no interest in truth, only vindication for preconceived assumptions.
