    (OK the above is just me being silly but as someone firmly entrenched in personal audio for the foreseeable future cuz living space for good speakers is not cheap I feel that while my distaste for DSP may be immutable with respect to pure music listening, something like this would be PERFECT for games)

    I know this old but wondered how everyone is feeling about the Syn now?

    I have two pairs of SVS Prime Wireless that I was thinking about running in 4.1 with the Syn.

    Has anyone used this in a 4.1 setup and feel like they would benefit from using an actual center channel?

    Thank you for any information you can give!!

    I'm still using Syn at my desk 4.1 and put another one in my son's room. I readied center channels for both setups but realized we didn't need it. A center channel is really only needed if you have a HT setup where people will be sitting on the edge of the couch.

    My Syn is in my 7.1.4 ATMOS system, acting as a second source at 5.1. I am using the top rear ceiling speakers as the surrounds. The Syn is a lot of fun. I am feeding the Syn with the URD transport. This gives me three inputs: CD, iPad USB for Apple Music 2-channel ATMOS, and USB from a PiCorePlayer Squeezelte endpoint.

    I am working on an article about the URD for Audiophile Style.
