I am new to the site, and this is my first post on HTS. So thanks in advance for any and all feedback, My apologies if this is not the right area to post this topic. I would like to conceptualize a 7.1.4 setup. However, I am on a budget. It's not crazy-restrictive, but it's not a free-for-all...

Onkyo 705 Surround sound question? Below is my current setup and I am finding that the majority (if not all) of the surround sound seems to be coming from my surround left and right speakers rather than my surround left and right rears. I noted in the ONKYO 705 connection instructions that...

Hi All, I received a PM about how I had my dipoles mounted so rather than keep it quiet I thought I'd share with everyone. Maybe it could help someone out in the future. My roon is a strange shape. When I built the house "Home Theater" was not on my list of priorities (that was 10 years ago)...
