Would like to have Front Left, Right and Center channels for home theater.

Hi. I have just about every blue sound product including soundbar+, powernode, sub and flex speakers. Today for the front speakers I have only two options none of which are completely satisfying. Option 1. Soundbar+ as the single front speaker with sub. This is my current setup but it have a wide room and would like more stereo effect that can only be achieved with actual front left and right channels. Option 2. Power node plus two speakers in the front this give me that wide sound stage but now center articulation is missing. What I would like to have is an option 3. Let’s soundbar or power node both be part of the home theater group where sound bar is just acting as the center channel and power node is driving front left and right channel. Does not matter who control the sub and surrounds. Tl;dr I want to create actual physical Dolby 5.2.1 using blueos powenode, soundbar, flex and sub.

    Mmik, there is quite a financial cost of multiple Bluesound devices to do this. If it’s BluOS you seek in a traditional Home Theatre then look at NAD devices (T758 / T778 etc.) as they have a few AV options that include BluOS. Only downside is that you need to run speaker cables.

    I already have the devices and cost is not an issue. Running using wires for front speakers is ok but for architectural/preservation reasons, running wires to surround speakers is not an option. The whole appeal of the blueos ecosystem is wireless capability. Besides BlueOS support NAD devices offer very little over thousands of other sound processors and av/receivers because like them NAD does not support mixing and matching wires and wireless speakers for multi-channel systems.

    Wireless is a selling point but mains leads and sockets are still required and harder to hide / install.

    Luckily, this is not a concern for me.
