Yes I saw it and rather bounced off it (it's a looks a bit complicated)
but
a 5.1 soundcard with digital out and a HT amp might solve your problems.
I'll have another go at it!


Cheers Keith,

the "theory-related" part of the question is whether my CPC ceiling speakers
are likely to draw too much form a normal HT surround-sound amp.

Am I right in thinking that in the modern HT days the majority of the energy
is put out through the subwoofer, with a smaller amount of high-frequency
energy coming out through the surround sound speakers. If this is the
"way-ahead", it sounds fine to me, though it may not suit my planned setup.

Cheers again
Ian
