SuBXeRo Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 i agree that subs for the most part are a necessity for HT unless you have speakers that are true basshounds and you have the appropriate environment to make them shine. I think that your room is too open for that scenario. My house in NJ has cathedral ceilings similar to yours, i am familiar with the type of acoustics. There are some in-wall sub solutions but if you are really trying not to penetrate walls, they may not work out so well for you. Subs are usually a tradeoff and most of the time, i said earlier, its usually a trade off in performance and you and only you will know the right answer.

mustang guy Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 (edited) It's out of your price range and you want small, but a pair of Belle Klipsch's and a phanton center would look terrific in that room. I know you said that you don't want big floor standers due to WAF, but Belle's are the best looking speakers on the planet, and they sound equally good. You can use the tops of those speakers to put nick-nacks on. You would still need sub, but there are some hidden subs Paradigm makes (5.5" × 18.375" × 14"). I really like the infinite baffle solution Carl brought up. Edited December 19, 2014 by mustang guy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never had a hot tottie and if my wife rolled me up in a shower curtain, she's too petite to lift me out of the tub. Mustang, that is the nicest photo I have ever seen of the Belle's. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twk123 Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 You are ALL on the wrong track. Don't worry about the artificial constraints. Wives come and go - Great HT rooms are for life. There are a bunch of speaker listings on Craigslist that are titled, "Divorce Sale" that suggest otherwise... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators dtel Posted December 19, 2014 Moderators Share Posted December 19, 2014 Still think the IB sub is a perfect setup for your room. No floor space used and crazy performance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paducah Home Theater Posted December 20, 2014 Share Posted December 20, 2014 i agree that subs for the most part are a necessity for HT unless you have speakers that are true basshounds and you have the appropriate environment to make them shine. They're necessary period if you want it to sound right. Even huge expensive towers that can reproduce full range music typically can't crank out LFE at the kind of volumes that are exciting.

rockhound Posted December 20, 2014 Author Share Posted December 20, 2014 Well the wife skipped out for a few hours so I moved my Chorus 2's into the living room , she wasn't happy but surprisingly didn't say much. Anyway I'll most likely keep the C2's in here most likely unless I can find some quartets. Subs- The IB seems to be a popular choice to conserve floor space I just wonder how they would sound that high up on the front wall. the table tuba would also work great and I'm pretty sure I could I could get away with replacing the rear table behind our recliners with one of these. Worse case I could build the table tuba and if it didn't work out move it to my 2ch rig in my room. Surrounds- Oh how I would love a floor standers as surrounds but that is not going to happen when recliners are reclined there would not be room to walk behind the recliners so I will need surrounds that I can put up out of the way. Need suggestions on what to get. Center- I have read that most of the vocals from movies comes from the center channel. Is there anything that would match well with C2's, Quartets or KG's? Thanks again for the opinions! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like that paradigm kind of pricey tho, need to add that as an option 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CECAA850 Posted December 20, 2014 Share Posted December 20, 2014 I just wonder how they would sound that high up on the front wall Most people that hear mine say it sounds like the bass is coming from the mains.

Sometimes you have to take a leap of faith like I did. I had never heard one prior to building mine. I talked Wakejunkie into building one and he loves it. You can get opinions on how mine sounds from other forum members. mxr dad Mallette Thaddeussmith. Hugeroost Los Lobos JL Sargeant All the above have heard mine and can give you impressions. Hopefully I've spelled them all correctly. Edited December 22, 2014 by CECAA850 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
