Home Theater Speakers exclusively
@cajunbaseball I have a 5 channel setup, w 2/ more coming for the sides. I'm using 212RTs as LR, 210RM as center, and 11HTs as surround (and sides soon). They aren't cheap, and they aren't the prettiest...but I guarantee you they'll give you everything you need and more. This review just came out yesterday: https://www.avnirvana.com/threads/jtr-noesis-212rt-review-and-measurements.6779/ |
Thank you for the responses. My room is 24'6" long by only 12 feet wide. The screen is 6 feet away from the back wall and I can move it further into the room. Point being, the speakers have plenty of room behind them. I am a disciple of Jim Smith and "Get Better Sound" so I understand a good bit about placement. And having Vandys for the last 15 years, I know how critical good placement is. Be that as it may, the speakers will stay behind the screen. Yesterday, I plugged the B&W's into my Ayre VX5- Twenty amp and the sound improved immensely, but I doubt I keep the B&Ws. |
@cajunbaseball if you have a screen, you should really look into JTR. since they're not the prettiest, hide them haha. in fact, they're prob meant for that. if you want, pm me and i can give you more info and probably help you pricing wise...i'm NOT a dealer, just a huge fan and jeff (the owner) takes care of returning customers and referrals. |
Used Definitive Technology tower speakers circa 1990's when Sandy Gross was still around are my best kept secret for HT speakers. I own over a dozen HT floor-standing speakers and these things crush. Bipole design, massive soundstage, clarity, and dynamics, built in powered subs. Killer. I would keep an eye out for used BP2000tl or BP3000tl towers with matching CLR3000 center channel. Can be had for around $1,000 a pair or less. Set an ebay reminder to be notified when they pop up. Extraordinary value, and it bests a lot of speakers recommended in this thread which shall not be named. -Alex |
