I'm struggling to understand home cinema setup for true 5.0 or 5.1.
It appears that it is not possible! I wanted to use two play1 , ONE sl or simfonisk as front L-R and Ray or Beam as center and two play1 surrounds. Later adding sub.
Why soundbars is designed as 3 channel only? Especially Ray, it is using single tweeter for 3 channels.
Ray front stage is so narrow it is hard to hear stereo unless you are listening 1m from it,not even mentioning 3 channels. TV 55inch speakers are doing much better (wider) stage!
To use it with 100inch projector screen sound stage must be wider! Ideally it should be around 3m wide but I think even ARC will struggle with that...
I would even preferred two speakers as stereo but that is not possible as well.
So how to go around it, is it possible to setup group with stereo pair and soundbar?
