lol even top of the line avr only run 9ch amplification but can do up to 13ch processing...don't get Confused

Yes that is right processing also need power.

Is there any firmware upgrade for DTS X for Yamaha A2040, presently the A2040 is Atmos ready but without DTS x.tq

Don't think so. A2050 will have both

Like that rugi loh bcos my A2040 only few months old

not rugi la....just buy to soon and lack of patience including myself....

Sell second hand and buy again 😅

Looks like it's not the right time to upgrade to Dolby Atmos and dts-X just yet, considering the current exchange rate and the uncertainty in dts-X.

In the interim, I swapped in my wife's V375, with the SQ a few notches below that of the T748. The HDMI card of the 4-year old T748 was replaced 2 years ago, so if I get the card replaced again, it should last me another 2 years, and by then should be the right time to upgrade.

dont worry as no dtsx movie available yet. enjoy ur avertage 2040

U r right for the time being n even atmos also not much disc around for time being.

Actually there is already. The movie ex machina had DTS X and avengers 2 also had it remix into it

My current setup = Boston Acoustics Soundware XS 5.1 paired to Onkyo 609. I usually watch movies with DTS HD MA or Dobly TrueHD. However, I kinda feel that the center speaker doesn't really stand out, i.e. the dialogue doesn't sound rich and full enough. So I up the gain level and reduced the rest but still feels the same. Does it make sense to change only the center to a bigger unit and leave the rest? Will that make the sound "unbalanced"?

If you want to change the center is advisable to change the front speakers as well to have more harmonize sound

Might have a problem there as the fronts are mounted on the TV panel and I don't want to do any modifications to move the wiring if I get bookshelf speakers. Anyway, what do you mean by harmonized sound? Do you mean better staging and balance between both fronts and center?

Basically the front and centre speakers should sound the same, else when a character in the move is speaking while walking from the left to the right side of the stage, he or she will sound like different person along the way.
That is why it is preferable to have the same drivers in the three speakers. However you can also source for different speakers if they sound quite close to each other. One way is to go for at least speakers from the same country, American speakers sound quite different from British ones.

With different speakers at the front the sound to be different. I guess is what you mean as balance sound.

Ah okay, you make sense there...looks like I might need to change all 3, if not don't change at all...

Here's how my layout looks like..I might need to put the front l/r down instead of hanging if I would to change them

Your problem could be due to different height of the centre from the other 2 fronts. Try to tilt the centre up to point at you (at listening position) directly to see if it makes any difference.

Alas,

WAF compromised de sound..

I like big ass spkrs - ctr included . Unfortunately they dont really help de aesthetics..
