So I'm looking for some ideas on systems for the living room; the TV Speaker just isn't cuttin' it anymore.
Some questions that really aren't linked to each other:
- Are there any systems with wireless speakers that aren't IR?
- Is there a strong advantage with getting separate receiver and speakers, versus an all-inclusive 'set'?
- How would you support multiple optical connections? My FiOS STB and 360 both have optical outs. Can/Do sets normally have multiple optical-in connections, or how might that work?
- Do any systems allow remote operation of speakers/configurations? If I have guests in the house, maybe I'd only want the rear speakers (by the seats) active, and not the front ones near the TV, which are also near the bedrooms.
My setup is fairly standard: TV on the wall (47" Philips Ambilight-2, since I know you freaks'll wanna know
), A/V underneath, couch against opposite wall, La-Z-Boy off to the side. Room for speakers in the corners on each side of the couch and in front.
The 'monkey said I'd get a dozen responses, so start your braindumps
