Surround speakers options?
I currently have a 2 channel system but I'am picking up the pieces I need to set up a HT. My front LR are Devore Silverbacks and I just got a Devore Gibbon 7.1 for my center. This will give me a Timber match across the front. I now need to locate some surrounds that are Dipoles, Devore does not make this type of speaker so I would like to know what to expect if I get a pair of Revel S30 for my surrounds. Will I notice the difference since they are not a Timber match to my fronts or since they are a diffuse type speaker will they blend in? Also they have a different sensitivity But a AVR should be able to set the levels to sound the same in volume correct? Thanks for any thoughts you have. Gary

I have asome Totem Lynks Dipole speakers that I use for surrouds. They have a switch on the back that can be engaged or not depending on where you have them mounted. Pretty nice sounding speakers. I bought them used on Audiogon for around $599. Good Luck finding them used though, they don't come up very often. I think I might get another pair and run a 7.1 setup. |
There is a pair of Devore Gibbon 3 monitors on Agon right now. I always recommend staying within a particular mfgr's line when assemblng a surround sound system, the transitions from side to side and front to back are much more seamless that way... http://www.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/cls.pl?spkrmoni&1236724246&/Devore-Gibbon-3-mint-monitors -RW- |
rlwainwright I have seen the Gibbon 3 but they have a port on the rear so I can't put them on a wall . I think I will put a wanted ad on Gon and see if I can locate a pair of Gibbon7.1 which will match my center and can be wall mounted. But I doubt that I will find a pair. Johnbarlow the revel S30 also have this switch but the Lynks gives me another option. Thanks for the input. Gary |
