I think we had a poll about a year ago and I'm curious what people are doing now in terms of speaker configuration for consuming AV content? For example, movies, TV and sports versus 2 channel music. However, the world won't end if the poll applies to 2 channel listening as well.

Using 7.2 for movies and tv. Also for all dvd/blu-ray concerts - and symphonic metal and hard rock music.
For most music listening, using 2.0 through a tube preamp and tube monoblock amplifiers.

Just today I have configured my 7.2.4 Atmos system. Haven’t dialed it in completely. Of course I’m now waiting for Dirac and further updates to my RMC-1. Watched Bohemian Rhapsody last night and it was a joy to both sight and sound! 😁🎶🎶🎶

7.2.2 for movies and a separate 2 channel room for music.
Music room is a 5.1 config for kids movies since the music room is in the living room. Scott

I’m 7.2.4 in the theater room which is where I will watch most movies. Our living room is a simple 5.1 setup using Mirage nanosat speakers and an older infinity 10” sub. It’s nothing fancy but it actually sounds pretty decent.

Bill Not surprising at all. This is first and foremost a music based forum. If this same poll was posted on a home theater predominant forum the results would be far different. On a side note.... cheers on the Chris Botti suggestion a while back. This is like going to the diy section of avs and asking whether an svs pb2000 or ultimax 18 is better. Or hitting the klipsch forum and asking whether Polk rtia9’s or klipsch rf7’s are better. Or asking here whether the xmc or anthem Avm60 is better. Sample is flawed and will be biased to whatever the particular forum caters to.

Since must everyone is including all of their setups and not just a single HT / TV I’ll lest mine.
My system in the Cave; Atmos 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝗳𝗶𝗿𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 is 7.2.4 Stereo music is a tubed system configuration with a sub included when music genre requires Mrs HT / Streeo rack system is a 7.3 or 2.0 system utilizing mostly Klipsch speakers. Subs added as genre requires.

Is Atmos in your future? The last .2 in that was the 2 overhead Atmos channels. Each height channel is 2 Emotiva E1s. So I have front height only for now.
I wish I had room for rear heights but the overhead ducting that is over the top of row 2 of seats just won't allow it. I'd have to go to a very wide angle to achieve it and it's just not worth it IMO.
Wife and I will build our next home in 2-3 years when oldest is in college. The basement will have high ceilings for a killer theater.
