Hi,
I??m duplicating my posts from another forum since there seems to be more traffic here and also all the members in that forum seems to be here. Are these two forums linked?
Can you suggest a speakers for a dedicated 13*28 room
I??m in the process of selecting a HT system for my dedicated 13*28 feet HT. I??ve engaged an acoustic consultant and making the room ??acoustically perfect? and sound proof by laying 100% wall/flooring/ceiling panels.
On receiver I??ve decided on Onkyo 875. I love the feedback ??trust me or any other AV forums ! Onkyo 805 or above is in different league? I got from a member of this forum who also motivated me to join this.
Now I??m looking for such a decider on speakers. I did a lot of browsing and the universal recommendation for speaker selection is ??Go, listen to all choices, get the one you like most, try at home, return & change if not ok!? This is not OK in India where you can??t just try & return. Also for us it??s a family interest and there is not much unanimous choice emerging on the brands. We tried Focal, Klipsh, Polk Audio, Bose & Sun Fire and over all our choices were in the same order but we can??t give much value to this since the rooms & ranges were different.
I??m not much an audiophile. I prefer Klipsch because at least two independent dealers in Chennai (Audio people & Onkyo Dealer) are pushing for this and so I think this won??t be very bad. I??m not able to see any other speaker brands with two different vendors!!
Option 1 Klipsch: RF83*2, RC64, RS62*2, RS52*2, RT12 (5L)
Option 2 Klipsch: RF82*2, RC62, RS52*2, RS42*2, RW12D (3L)
Option 3 Focal: 816*2, CC800, SR800*4, SW800 (2.5L)
Option 4 Polk Audio: RTiA7*2, CSiA6, FXiA6*4, DSW Pro600 (1.6L)
Since this is a long term investments I don??t mind spending the higher amount if it is a value for money. For the room (13*28 feet with 10*8 screen) which speaker is good? Our usage will be 50% for 5.1/7.1/Stereo movies with 20% each for old stereo country music and religious songs with 10% for TV & others.
I heard (from internet) that Klipsch has a great WOW factor but is not good for relaxing. Polk Audio scores in that. Also I heard Focal is better for voice (movies). Speaker selection is totally confusing. Hope it is as simple as just comparing two specifications.
I wish some one from the forum can just say for this room size and your listening habit and easy serviceability in India (Chennai) better go with xxxxxxx. The home theater consultant and also the shop keepers are quick to give the recommendations but I don??t trust them.
Thanks,
