Nothing wrong with it. In fact you are 100% right.

Just he already has nice towers + Dirac. He could make his towers sound like anything he wants now. Full control over the response.

The bookshelves + sub route is excellent. I just wouldnt want to have bookshelves as mains if the room allowed towers. Something special about full range channels in surround.

Dirac allowed me to do this with all 11channels and 2 subs playing simultaneouly. Sounds pretty real and the extra air over 8Khz makes you feel like your in “their” room. ( My room is full treated so I can get away with it -not recommended in hard rooms.)

Sure bass falls off around 30hz, but I just dont wanna upgrade my subs quite yet.... too many other things fighting with my bank account. Lol. laugh
