Hi newbie question po. If the HTIB doesn't have coax input and you only connect via rca, it would only be stereo/2.1 right? But what does that really mean? Does it mean only the 2 front speakers lang and the sub ang may audio?
Sorry sa ignorant question, i haven't owned a 5.1 setup pa kasi, naka edifier 2.1 lang ako I want to buy a htib and i can only afford the low-ends which im almost sure has no coax in. Or baka pa il only be able to afford yung mga 5.1 speakers ng logitec/creative na less than 4k.
I think for 5k you can get a decent preowned SAMSUNG set na may optical input. DTS with NMT would more than suffice, the TRUEHD/DTS-MA may not play pero if you stick with AC3 and DTS sa HD content, which is really more common, you will be all set.
if you will go with seperates, magastos but adviseable pag meron hang dedicated HT.
I started with an HTIB for the longest time, and quite happy with it. pero gawa ng kulam, i went for seperates.
HTH optical cable is king.
