I have some doubt the sound difference between rear ported and front ported bass is it so obvious I mean the bass part....
I have been using rear ported speaker for last 5 years compare to another pair of speaker I used front ported for 3 years. I will say the bass part is not much different but of course they are different speaker. You can't really compare Apple to apple
May I know what model of AVR u use? Actually I'm now doing some survey before i buy the receiver. However, what i found currently in Malaysia the AVR that came with Atmos and DTS X is still limited. I can say i found it most were ONKYO brand.
Another thing, what's the recommended AVR wattage for small home theater room? I'm planning from now to setup a 7.1 system and use a 5.1.2 atmos layout in that room.
Almost every brand has it. Onkyo, pioneer, denon, Yamaha, marantz. I am currently using the Yamaha A3050. Not sure what is your room size but for 5.1.2 entry level AVR will do fine.
Just read that Sony new DN1070 actually works with wireless speaker. In that case can match SS-CS5 as front LR, and wireless SRS-ZR5 as Rear LR.
Any Front Center and sub to recommend?
By the way I stay in condo, and my living room Is about 15ft x 12ft. The left is actually next to curtain and glass. So with this space should I settle with Sony HTIB 9200 Or should I get a home theater with Sony speakers? And if I have a sub, should it be at front left (next to glass window) or front right (open space)?
