I'm currently on 6.1, the 7th speaker is on its way!

Hope to have 7.1 by this weekend. biggrin.gif

Well, about the room size, I think it's more about the speaker size, not the speaker count.

You can still enjoy 7.1 in small room, just use small ones for the surrounds and calibrate correctly.

not suitable for high-power AVR and speakers cause difficult to position sound movement

For the 600 series? Cannot be lah.

If I buy two pairs of 685, matching center, and go with the more expensive round PV1 subwoofer also 20k tak sampai.

actually if using powerful AVR and speakers ... 5.1 setup already unspeakable ... don't need 7.1 ... unless you have a very big room

I tried Pioneer most advanced EX Speaker series with AVR LX-70 ... 5.1 setup only ... in around 20'x25' room ... the sound quality unbelievable ... the speaker itself cost >100k and front speaker each weight around 45kg ... so I don't think need 7.1 in this case
