Hi,
I am new to this forum and stumbled upon it when researching various HTiB systems. You guys have a great site and very useful and informative reviews, so thank you.
Apologize for the newbie question, but I read your "First Look" review of the Onkyo HT-S6200, and have a basic question about this sytem and other 7.1 systems.
I live in a studio apartment and it is difficult to run wires through walls, etc. My main concern has been the setup of rear speakers on surround systems. Ideally, for ease of setup, they would be wireless, but I know a lot is lost in sound.
My question is -- with a 7.1 system like the Onkyo, are all 7 speakers necessary to sound right/good (can I just use 5)? If it is necessary, do the rear speakers have to be set up in the back to sound right?
Again, sorry about these dumb questions and thanks in advance.
