Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Home Theater Centre Channel speaker for 7.1

>>or the salesguy that made the sale.

Yes, that is a good idea, Tell your friend to phone the salesman and ask him which speaker inputs to use for the "7.1" rear channel speaker.

Better yet, tell your friend to return all the speakers and talk to Alan who will actually know what he is talking about!

You know, my post, ie: this post, has though me a few things: the more information you provide, the better the chance of an accurate response even if it was supposed to be an easy question to answer. Obviously in this case, I did not provide enough information. Also, it though me another thing, that I was to lazy to surf to the Marantz web site and download the SR8500 manual in PDF format and look at the section where it talks about setting up a 6.1 system.

So, now that I have the answer, I will non the less put in the information that I should have put in the first place, at the very least it will serve as a point of reference to my original question. Lesson learned.


Marantz SR8500 7.1 receiver (125W X 7 channels)
Dalhquist QX9 front L/R
Dalhquist QX60C Centre Channel
Dalhquist QX5 Surrounds
Dalhquist QS125 Subwoofer
Dalhquist QX60C Rear Center Channel.

Oh hell, I got that one completely wrong, I thought he bought a 5.1 capable receiver and got suckered into buying a 6th speaker and wanted to know how to hook it up to the two existing surround channels. I was going to come back to this tonight when I had a clear head to figure out if you would go SL+ into RC+ then SR- into RC-... or, ah, my brain hurts again.
