Tweeter necessary?

Vivek · 18th February 2004, 05:36 AM

Hi all,
I was wondering if a woofer/midbass and a tweeter are necessary for the surround channels in a HT setup or will full range drivers be enough.
Thanks

Surrond sound will be better, if all speakers have similar sound. Your front speakers are not fullrange?...

My front speakers are a 2-way ported system.

So build 2ways for your rears as well, maybe just a small woofer in them if you are out to save money, you could get a cheaper tweeter to as its not critical in HomeTheatre IMO.
But make sure they have a similar sound to your fronts and try to get the efficiency the same as well.
