Quick Tip: 2.1 Channel System or Floorstanding Speakers?
F16Thud's Ski Chalet 2.1 channel system
A recent Wall’o'Fame submission of a customer’s beautiful 2.1 channel system got me thinking: how do you know if you’re better off with sat/sub combination or two floorstanding speakers?
Turns out the answer is pretty simple: it’s a matter of taste! A bookshelf-speaker-and-subwoofer combination can do an excellent job of reproducing both highs and lows. It’s a significant step up from the speakers built into your television, and it does a great job of providing high-quality sound in a small room, den, dorm, or an apartment where running wires for surround sound isn’t feasible.
