2 Phantoms in a 4.0 home theatre setting

[Foffio]

If your Emotiva can delay video and rear channels to get in sync with the Golds this should work. Phantoms have (in this context) significant lag which you need to adjust for.

Thank you for the answer. The video delay could indeed be a problem but on the Emotiva it is possibile to tweak a sort of delay with speaker distance setting. The main question remains how to manage the 3 front channels and the Phantoms... Have to ask Emotiva's guys if the optical output consists of a downmix of all 6 Dolby channels...
