9.7. An EP800 under your front L/R, Center, L/R side surround and L/R back surrounds. Since we're talking pliiz decoding, there should be 2 side mounted M22s above your Front L/R speakers or maybe a VP150 above your front Left and another above your Front/R.

2 upper front effects speakers, each of the other 7 speakers is assisted by an EP800, so we can refer to each (in combo with its sub) as a full range speaker.

Also, while we're at it, let's get a bigger room.

We should have some serious outboard amplification as well.

Enjoy the Music. Trust your ears. Laugh at Folks Who Claim to Know it All.
