Yep just two channels. I started this sound system build after I lost my last setup in divorce. At first I was PISSED that she got stuff that belonged to me before we ever met.
Then I realized, it was just stuff.
Now I have a fresh start and can build a better system.
It's not in the same room or even the same house. Yep, you guessed it, she got that too. I would liked to have set it up so the fronts were on the short wall facing the length of the room. Alas, the house was built in the 30's and people didn't think about such things then. In truth, it had more to do with the leather sectional my girlfriend wanted.
This is a rental, it's cheap for now. I'll be looking to buy a house again. A bigger house. That's why I went with towers instead of bookshelves. I have always preferred towers anyway. Eventually it will be 5.2, maybe 7.2 someday who knows.
I got the Sherbourn, even though it didn't have room correction, because it didn't have all the other features I didn't need as well. Current receivers have too much c**p I don't need and not enough of what I do. I'm kinda old skool that way. Reviews were excellent as far as sound and video quality. Plus I got it for 700 bucks new.
I realized the first time I heard the Ascends, that a speaker with a flat response, was a whole different breed than what I was used to. I loved them immediately. But now that I've had them a few months, I'm not turning them up as loud, fanning my feathers so to speak. I'm settling back into old habits of mellow listening well into the night. Still rock out about once a week tho.
At first, I was a little surprised by lack of bass with the Ascends. After having them a while, I realize they don't lack bass, it's just accurate. To get the lower octaves that I love, I NEED a sub.
