Hey guy and gals,
I wanted to ask opinions on what speakers I should test out and try for a 2 channel/home theater. I am aiming for 5.1.4 I think, but i'm flexible. My preference is for a laid back presentation (currently have Polk audio lism 707). The front L and R, (floorstanders), would get the most money for the fact they would be severing double duty. The rest of the set up could be floor stander or monitor depending on budget. The content my wife and I listen to is high resolution qubzo files from our server, a blu-ray player from our ps5 and standard streaming apps. My system is as follows along with items I consdering;
Reciver/ processer Yamaha rx A8A
Amp ATI Ncore nc543, 500x3 4 to 8 ohms, 2 ohms not doable, will power the two towers and center
Custom built computer for high resolution files sent via Earc through TV.
Ps 5 Blue Ray player
Samsung qn90b feeding streaming service via eArc.
Polk audio Lism 707, 706c, and 705 back surround with monolith 13 inch sub
Room is 15 x15 with a bunch of stuff in it, no room treatments.
Building the system for now and for when we move.
I was considering the Polk audio l600 and matching setup. The integrated atoms is a nice selling point and I don't have to do work in the walls to get passable sound. I am very familiar with there sound.... and I really enjoy it. The negatives are they are only 300 watts rms so when I crank them up they take it, to a point the fall off a cliff. Also the looks are middle of the road.
New Martin Logan Motion series, I love the looks in white, would like to try out the new amt tweeter, lastly I would like to hear the mid range. I feel the current polks I have are muddy in the mid range. Negatives are price very expensive for a full theater and would maybe have to do a 5.1 and wait till I have more cash.
Adrenal 1723 thx, they are currently having a sale and would be a little cheaper, have a fair amount of headroom compared to the others, silk dome tweeter with wave guide for high dispersion and smooth sound. Negatives, heavy as heck, only 2.5 x over, looks a little worse than the polls.
Paradigm founders, best looking of all three, has a hard dome and would be brighter then all the others, could be plus or minus. Negative is price and hard dome.
Please tell me what ya think!
