New member Username: SantellijPost Number: 1 Registered: Aug-05 | I've got a 5.1 system going into a living room that has been taken down to the studs. The speakers I have with the system are shelf or wall mounted speakers (very small). Windows are in the way of placing the rear speakers at seating height. I've looked at in-ceiling speakers but I'm reluctant to drop another $200+ on 2 more speakers. I'm also concerned about the imbalance of having 3 speakers of one type in the front and two in the rear of another. Should I: A: Place the wall mounted speakers above the windows, near the ceiling and try to point them down. B: Try to place the speakers I have in the ceiling behind a 5" round grill (or something funky like that). C: Buy a pair of in-ceiling speakers for the rear channel. D: Buy 5 new matching speakers (all in wall/ceiling). Other suggestions are more than welcome. I would also like to have a setup that allows me to upgrade components and is a "clean" install. |

JBL being the best, since they have been playing motion picture soundtracks from the dawn of the talkie, "The Jazz Singer" 1927, for myself I have been using matched KBL control 5 for 16 years, easy to install and when used with a power JBL sub bass this sound system will go into warp speed.... The way it should be designed is three-screen matching fronts and if you can go the distance, which is very doable, three more for each side wall, and four for the back surround, and for height surround which if you re-plug the surrounds and install six for the height....spot on. And for sub bass a pucker 18in 600watt JBL will, pack a punch of low end, and the professional ones are the ones to go for, and if you can find an EX cinema one at Home Page http://www.fproj.com/ Screen Speakers Surrounds and Sub Bass units. http://www.fproj.com/used/speakers.htm Ashley |
