    DTS Master Audio possible with only 3 speakers?

    I'm in the market for my first 'real' Home Audio setup but I'm confused about something...can I receive DTS Master Audio and Dolby TrueHD sound from a Blu-ray with only a 3 speaker setup (2 fronts and a center channel)?...or do I need to have a minimum 5.1 speaker setup?...I hope I can get it with just 3 speakers as I live in an apartment and a 5.1/7.1 system is out of the question for now as the space and overall sound would be too much for my apartment as the neighbors would probably complain

    I'm planning on getting the Aperion 5T front/center speakers and pairing it with a Denon AVR-591 receiver...thanks for any help

    Hello and welcome to the forum, 

    Yes you can definitely get DTS MA and Dolby True HD tracks with only a 3.0 set up, just make sure you set the surrounds to "none" in your receiver so those channels are routed to the fronts and center.
