System Goals/Comments:	experemental surround based on tom holmans 10.1 setup.he was the sound guy on star wars his set up is with all the speakers in a half circle. but with my own set up. speakers on 1 amp are the opposite from the other one.digital out can be played back in 3 amps at the same time.so 30 speaker output can be played. most of the surround comes from the front and sides. I will hear the fronts & back in the front near feild speakers and the surrounds in the sides & front. I want my system to play it back like im watching it. Im new at this playback but tom holman says theres more spacial qs in front of you. this cannot be done in 5.1 so this is an inprovement over 5.1 with more spacial qs. I like the effect.
System Strengths:	useing 10 floor speakers 4 centers,4 bookshelves all in one room.3 100 watt & 1 150 watt amp.can play back 2 to 30 speakers.It can make bad recordings sound better the denon amp can play all channels at equal volume.plus it can be played back with diferent channel set ups by remote.
System Weaknesses:	lots of electricity.4 different outlets to power it all the 100wt receivers cannot play the rears loud unless I turn the fronts down.

Comments on HT System:	if you have any discs with reduced volume rear channel info this set up will help balance info in the rears.I have to use more amps & speakers.dvd audio sacd & blu ray can be played back with 3 amps playing at the same time.the other 2 amps can be played back too thru pre outs in stereo.
