Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Home Theater 7.1 or 5.1

With a speaker budget of $2200, I think I would start with a 5.1 system. That is a lot of cubic feet to fill and you may want to consider a good sized sub, EP400 might be a good place to start. I think you will get a better bang for the buck this way. Make sure you wire for 7.1 and you can always ugrade later.

I have a dedicated HT room at 4000 cubic feet and am running 5.1 and it sounds great!
