Good Morning Folks!
I'm thinking of putting up a Zone 2 set of speakers for my bedroom. I'm using an Onkyo TX-NR 616 to power the main zone, and that has a couple of outputs for Zone 2. However the second Sub preout cannot be used for Zone 2
The bedroom is quite small @ 10' x 10'. Therefore I want speakers which are powerful and great sounding without being bulky! The emphasis here is on great sound in a minimal footprint!
I had heard Jamo S35 some time ago, and thought they were great - sleek and sweet! Jamo : 360 Series : S-35 That should give you an idea of what I'm looking for. The other one I'm considering (please don't string me up for mentioning this out here) is Bose https://www.boseindia.com/product/acoustimass-5-series-iii-stereo-speaker-system/
Even the subwoofer, I'd like it to be as compact as possible. Certainly no larger than 8 Inch. Also, if there are Subs available in flatter dimensions (like Bose's accoustimass module) rather than the regular square subs, that'd be better because I'm gonna have to keep it flush against a wall.
If y'all have come across any more such speakers, please let me know.
Secondly, since the 2nd Sub cannot connect directly to the Amp, I'm assuming I'll have to run the Zone 2 speaker cabling to the Sub and then to the speakers. In this case, will the Sub 'color' the sound? That is, can I expect the same fidelity that my Onkyo produces, or will there be some influence of the Sub on the way the music sounds from the speakers?
