Hello!
I have my system currently set up with a Denon AVR-4810ci, with 10.2 (all Cerwin Vega, 2 Bic America F-12) along with an external amp to power rear speaker
My room is around 15.4x14, not ideal for acoustics at all, but I am moving in a few months.
I am notorious for trying every setup possible when it comes to audio and my theater setup, I know alot about home theater (but still have alot to learn). Luckily I have the ability to switch DSX on and off, but I am conflicted, because it sounds very immersive with DSX but less impactful than 7.2. Will I benefit with sticking to good placement and less speakers in this small space till I move into the 18x30 room.
My question is,
Will I get a better quality sound/imaging if I move down to a 7.2/5.2 for movies? (Opposed to full audyssey dsx with optimal wide placement and less than optimal high speakers.) Is my sound stage muddied by extra speakers?
