RE: Looking for inmate opinions about multichannel

Agreed. Although many authorities... will theorize volume levels, speaker size and settings ultimately you have to do what fits your budget and room layout/size accordingly for YOUR tastes. The guidelines are great tools for starters and perhaps some never see a need to change anything but I've always adjusted levels.
For instance my center is always a little higher than my mains, and surrounds are slightly lower than my mains, speakers set to full range.

And believe me when I say these are correlations that tie in well with both movies and music!

For me it was very important to have the largest center and surrounds I could get as I prefer to get the 3 subs crossover well below the recommended settings of 80 htz. as I firmly believe that their is audible mid-range information at that level. So full range speakers all around, for my tastes.

IMO you are also correct in having Pre-outs on the avr, if ones ever going to go the upgrade path it's a must! Also a very affordable way to test the waters and entertain going further.

When done to one's own satisfaction multichannel can be very rewarding, satisfyingly lifelike.
