(fax) DTS - center channel

[Tim Wright]

Thanks for the tips, Trevor and micah.

Basically I'm just not interested in films, only music.  So there's a
tv on the middle floor of the house, but on the top floor I've set
aside a room just for music listening.  The plan is for the upcoming
comfy chair to be facing some french doors overlooking the park, aah,
which is why a centre speaker is a minor problem.  But I'm thinking
for fax listening I can manoever a centre into position, no big deal.
But the next question is, I'd probably have to just sit it on the
floor, is that a no-no?

I've always thought that 2-channel stereo is a bit half-hearted
really, so I'm glad to see some surround-sound music going on at last.
 I haven't noticed it taking off though, or have I missed anything?
So far I'm assuming my DTS collection will only ever include Fax cds.

Amusingly I find that some of the receiver setup can only be done
using on-screen display, so at some point I'll have to get a tv or
monitor up here to get things working properly.  Obviously they're not
expecting anyone to buy this kit just for music!  On top of that, the
CD player I was intending to use doesn't have a digital out - I had
forgotten that, so I've had to have a switch-around.  As you can see
this is all a carefully planned operation...

oblique strategy: fanny about until it works :-)
