Hi everyone.
I try to locate a good and budgetary set of 5.1 speakers for a small cinema hall (size 140 sq.m = 1506 sq.feets).
It will be used occasionally for speech.
Any suggestions?
Thanks

Maybe something from here would suit?
Pi Speakers - unmatched quality and state-of-the-art performance

Does it have to be 5.1?
IMO, surround systems are pretty much useless unless you're in a small space centred between all the speakers. Conventional stereo would get you higher-quality sound that everyone would enjoy.

Hi and thanks for the reply
Very interesting speakers and built with well known and (I think?) PA drivers.
It's something that I thought.
The problem is that all speakers (except sub) should be wall-mounted.
Thanks anyway.
Hi Chris
Not necessary, 5 full-wave + 1 sub can do the job.
The hall is 14m L X 10m W, so I think with proper installation of the 4 side speakers I could obtain the effects by 80%.
If I had the time, I could build custom speakers with my preferable drivers. From memory, Peerless Pro drivers were something between PA and HiFi due to their foam suspension.
Regarding the rest, I could also build a custom 6 channel power amplifier with e.g. 6 ICE Power ASX modules (class D with integrated SMPS), driven by a surround decoder.
Sadly there is no time. I should select something from the shelf.
Thanks for the info.
PS
I looked in your site, very nice topics.
