HT thoughts

bjackson · 25th December 2005, 03:48 AM

In the following room, how would you design a HT giving the following considerations:

1. The mains are of primary concern for music also
2. The primary listening volume will be around 80db, and only cranked to 90-95db maybe once a month, but never over that.
3. 65 watts per channel
4. Deep subwoofer as possible.

All of the speakers in the room currently seen are going to go. They sound like crap. I think that anything I make would sound better (although I might tinker with them and upgrade the x-o later).

Any ideas? Also, I'm on a college budget so not TOO expensive. I am not sold on a specific budget at the moment. I want a wide open sound with the surrounds like a theater, but a very musical sound with the mains, as I listen to music A LOT.

Thanks for any replies!

I can't access the pictures. The links you posted bring a page saying that the object does not exist.

It appears my university shut down its servers for a few hours. They appear to be working now!

Thanks, and sorry for the inconveniance

Do yourself a favor and base your HT system on a CXjr. from Smart Devices. This enables you to have a great HT system with uncompromised Hifi sound.

Wow, that was so random and had absolutly nothing to do with my question.

Seriously though, does anyone have any thoughts?

I'm sorry you were talking about main speakers. Maybe look at Madisounds Cygnet kit?
