[mythtv-users] OT: speakers question
Hello, I have an old Denon stereo receiver that I want to start using again. I don't have any speakers, and I am on a budget, so I plan on buying some cheap bookshelf speakers and a subwoofer (for now). My question is this... I was planning to buy 2 bookshelf speakers with 5-1/4 woofers and 7/8 tweeters (KLH-911B). Then I saw a 6 piece set that was cheaper (KLH HTA-9906). It looks like the same sub-woofer, but the 5 satellites have only 4 woofers and 5/8 tweeters. Assuming they are all of the same level of quality, which would output better sound? The 2 larger speakers, or the 4 (or 5) smaller speakers? This is primarily for DVD/TV, but occasionally for music. It's in a family/dining room that is about 15'x20'. BTW, I won't be able to use the center speaker as a true center speaker since my old receiver doesn't support that. Also, the subwoofer will use speaker-level inputs. Thanks. ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users

It's in a family/dining room that is about 15'x20'. typically larger speakers produce a more 'full' sound. however, it's all a matter of taste. i can't really tell you what sounds good to you. you have to 'listen' to them and determine if they sound good enough for you. try a home theater store or a dedicated audio store. sometimes even places like Best Buy or Circuit City will have sound rooms where you can listen to several different audio setups with different speakers. then maybe you can compare the KLH speakers with some other bookshelf speakers or even a larger set of KLH. you have to be the judge of what sounds good. 9 GMail Invites available Email me OFF-list only... ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users

i am not sure what your budget is, but the speakers in the following link with blow away just about anything from klh. some light assembly work, including soldering, is required. read the assembly manual. you will not be disappointed. the bass output should be better than the klh system, so a sub would probably not be required. link: http://www.partsexpress.com/pe/pshowdetl.cfm?DID=7Partnumber=300-640 review: http://www.partsexpress.com/resources/300-640a.html ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
