Hi all,
I’m working on a very odd setup, basically a wife-approved HT setup with extremely minimal impact; no towers, a center and bookshelf speakers only, and as small as possible. No stand, wall, or ceiling installations.
So far I have a C-200 center channel with 4 B-100s on the way. I was considering sending two of the B-100s back and instead putting slightly larger speakers on the front, something like R-51Ms.
I’m not certain if that’s worth doing particularly. There isn’t a lot of detail of what is different between the B-100s and the R-51Ms, they appear to be about the same price, but the R-51 is larger so in theory it should produce more mid range sound than the B-100s. I also don’t know if it’s a good idea to mix and match the various speaker “families”, or if they’re intended to be used together for the best results.
The watching area is a relatively small space, but it’s part of a large space that’s pretty well covered by Sonos. I just wanted a hardwired HT setup within the media section. Given the visual restrictions, it’s difficult to pull off though.
