This family room remodel will have a fireplace with heavily textured stone on the face of it. We will have an opening for the television and a sound bar. But it is a fairly deep family room that extends to the kitchen.
They are leaning towards a sound bar to get three channels across the front. For me, I don't like a sound bar in a long room, because I feel like you lose the spaciousness of normally separated left and right speakers.
Would you consider a phantom center, a 4.1 system, instead of a sound bar and the center channel output?
There is no truth anymore. Only assertions. The internet world has no interest in truth, only vindication for preconceived assumptions.
