I have selected the Denon receiver Model No-1705 & Pioneer DVD Player for the Home Theater, now I am looking for the speaker. I want to know,
Floorstand speaker is better or cubed speaker, and which make also. How is the quality of Bose & Canton speakers.

For the home theater, the choice of the 5 speakers and the sub-woofer is critical. The acoustic environment in the room is also a determining factor, as there is little point in putting high quality speakers in a poor environment. Not much difference between floor stands and cubed, really a physical setup choice. Just get good speakers and put them in the right places in the room and then balance and time the audio system. Elsewhere in the site you will find some help on speaker locations. Good quality speakers at competitive prices are available from a number of suppliers, including those mentioned.

Sound

What effect does the receiver have upon the sound output from DTV. My TV has 5.1 dolby but my receiver is prologic. For some reason I don't get any rear channel sound from DTV. The system seems to be hooked up correctly. I get proper sound from my DVD etc. I'm thinking it has something to do with the TV being 5.1 and my receiver being an older prologic system. I'm using the variable audio output from the TV to feed my receiver.

Suggest that you connect the Dolby AC3 data stream from the HD television to a receiver that can decode it fully. Usually the HD television outputs either an optical or coaxial feed of the data stream. Relying on the Pro-Logic decoder looking at the stereo output from the HD television will not give the full surround effect.

Although DTV uses Dolby Digital sound it is not always 5.1 sound. Often it is only Dolby Digital 2.0 (Stereo), even on HD broadcasts.
