Surround Sound Speakers
How do I buy surround sound speakers?
Im using my old 100w Onkyo main speakers as surround sound speakers with my new receiver. The problem is they're a little bulky. I need to buy 2 separate surround sound speakers that are small without losing the sound quality. My main speakers are JBL e80 series. Where should I start?
e80's? Very nice. If your happy with the bass, mid and treble the mains put out then a modest pair of bookshelf size speakers should fill the bill nicely.
.
A lot depends on placement and room acoustics. I prefer ported speakers for home theater and acoustic suspension for listening to music. Either way, what you get should be accurate in the mid to high frequencies and have sharp (ported) rather than smooth response (acoustic suspension).
I would suggest a Polk 'R' series small speaker for smooth mids and trebles or a klipsch ksb if you like that crystal clear (sometimes harsh) horn sound.
Be sure and get a dealer agreement for a test drive. Try them out in different configurations and placements and if they blend well with your main's, you're good to go. If not, take them back, ask questions and try again.
.
Personally I wouldn't spend more that a hundred on a pair of surrounds. All you really need are good, strong mids and highs and you don't need to spend a fortune for that.
My setup.
Yamaha HTR 5140
Vintage Advent 5002's mains
Polk monitor 4's rears.
Although I've got a Klipsch RC3 center,
I just use my TV's built in speakers as center.
Sounds great once balanced with system.
No sub needed with the Advents.
