The setup for the Ventroloquist is somewhat unfriendly. All the speakers need to be hooked up to the center. Similar to Bose setup, where all cubes are plugged to the rear of the subwoofer, it does not sound like Bose however. It is impressive for its size and its price range regarding HT. I visited Dr. Hsu office last month, and I heard that he was in the process of introducing a new Ventroloquist, which has a thinner center speaker.
HSU Ventriloquist for Bedroom HT and Music
There is a lot of info and compliments in other threads on the value of HSU subwoofers but only a couple of comments on their "Ventriloquist" package.
It seems that they offer a particularly good deal on these HT surround speakers when purchased with one of their subwoofers.
Although I hoped to use Magnepan front, rear and surround speakers, the HSU ventriloquists are considerably cheaper and very small - do I dare say conveniently Bose like? - in size.
(Obviously, I am hoping they don't sound like Bose!)
Has anyone tried them?
Any comments on sound for HT?
Music?
Although I can't imagine they would sound as good as the Maggies with really good amps etc, is it possible that, in the end, they would sound better with my HT receiver and better integrated with the HSU subwoofer?
If they are worthwhile, where is the best place to mount these little cubes?
Thank you.
