Setting up multiple "areas" with audio system Dan24 02-11-2007
Hi,

I'm currently planning my home theater set up. My room is a wide
space seperated into a living room and bedroom. In the middle of the
room (between the bedroom and the living room) there is an LCD TV
which can be turned 360 degrees. In this way I use only one TV for
both rooms.
Now I am planning on setting up the audio system. I was thinking of
purchasing a Bose Acoustimass 10 system (5.1 channels) but I would like to
get surround sound in both the living room and the bedroom. Now
basically, if I can find a smart way to "switch" between speakers, I
should be able to have this set up with only 2 additional speakers.
What I am not sure about is how this "switching" can be done. Here's an
illustration of how I was thinking this can be set up:

(1) (2)
BEDROOM
(3) TV+center (4)
LIVING ROOM
(5) (6)

The speakers are numbered (1) to (6). If it's not clear, the bedroom
is between speakers (1)-(2) and (3)-(4) and the living room is between
speakers (3)-(4) and (5)-(6).
When in the living room, I would like speakers (5)+(6) to be rear, and
speakers (3)+(4) to be front.
When in the bedroom, I'd switch speakers (1)+(2) to be rear, and
switch channels (left and right) on speakers (3)+(4).

Any idea on how this can be accomplished? (p.s. - other set up
suggestions are also welcome :) ).

Thanks in advance!
