Neoraf work on your sound setup. Having 5 speakers in front does you no good. I currently have a 7.1 channel setup. Your setup should look like the link below.

By not having your speakers setup correctly you are missing the fun of the sound. In Gears and Gears 2 hearing a helicopter go from front to back or vice-verse is great. Blu-Ray sound as well. Set'em up right. If you need help give me a holla.

Also floor speakers don't give you the best sound buy satellites look at Polk Audio, JBL and others. Get some stands and raise them off the floor.

Center, Front L, Front R, Presence L, Presence R.

I now have 5 speakers in front of me, and it works perfectly, but either way, if those are indeed presence speakers, then they should be mounted above the TV instead of sitting below.

I also have my Surround L, Surround R, Back L, Back R.

EDIT: oh, and Floor speakers give just as good, if not better sound than satellites. They typically have a smoother response over a larger frequency range (so like 40hz-20khz) compared to their equivalent satellite speakers (~80hz-18khz). Which allows you to set your sub-woofer to a better cutoff point and not force it to compensate for the satellite speakers inadequacies.

Also, I can't believe you would recommend JBL, when they are crap compared to the good brands.




If you drop a PS3 right on top of a Wii, it would definitely defeat it. Not so sure about the Xbox360. - mancandy
