I'm an older guy with very little tech savvy so bear with me. A couple of years ago I discovered the world of multi channel music and have been building a small but growing collection of SACD's, DVD-A's, and BluRay audio discs. I play them on our small home theater but I think I'd like to be able to also play them in our small home office. So I have a bunch of noob questions, in no particular order, for you guys...
Does anyone run 5.1 on their desktop? If so, where do you place the center channel? I was thinking of buying one of those monitor adjustable mounting brackets that fasten to the wall so I can move it just above the center speaker.
I'd like to buy an A/V receiver and a universal BluRay player for that room. If I not only wanted to listen to these disks there but also wanted to watch movies, and get Youtube audio from this system, how would I hook all that up to the computer and monitor?
And lastly (for now), I was thinking, after tons of research, of going with Totem Acoustics Kin Mini speakers for front L and R, and for surrounds, with the Totem Flex for the center. Maybe a small Rythmic sealed sub. I've read about lots of different passive nearfield speakers recently. Some of the better ones don't have a center speaker available, some have centers that just look too big. I'm currently using an ancient 2.1 Altec Lansing and would like a big improvement.
Any and all suggestions greatly appreciated.
