Additional Speakers for 5.1
#1
Just purchased and installed new A70 bar and sub  Excellent. Would love some advice on how to set up and what speakers are most suited for two rear speakers for 5.1 surround

Hi GEaston01,

Glad to hear you love the A70 as much as I do.

I have some bad news though, the A70 is not designed to have additional speakers to create Surround sound. The good news is that with airSOUND you do not really need surround.

airSOUND delivers a balanced stereo image around the whole room, negating the need for additional speakers. While this does not deliver the same experience as a surround sound system, it does deliver a comperable one. There are those who feel it may even be a better one.

In theory you can use a set of Google Chromecast's or similar to do something like this, however it is doubtful this would replicate surround sound well and it would almost certainly detratct from teh airSOUND experience. For a Multi room setup though the Chrome/Audio casts are great.
