nlt6mor Posted October 25, 2016 Share Posted October 25, 2016 Hi, I have been preparing for a 5.2.4 home theater for a long time. I have forte for LCR, maybe find one more for surrounds. A new KS8000 for a TV. New AVR coming up and strongly considering some type of 9 channel Marantz. That leaves a need for four Atmos speakers. I see four SCR-2 that are new out of a model home for $120 for the four in my area. How bad of a choice would that be for ceiling speakers. See old adds for 400 a pair. I realize the Synergy series are 'NOT' in the same ballpark quality wise with front fortes, but would they give service as atmos ceiling speakers for a few years? Somewhat related to that question, how important is it to have equally sensitive (efficient) speakers? I have EV EVIDS that sound good currently as surrounds, but of course you have to drive them much harder for the same volume. These SCR-2 are 92% much better than the EVIDs. Thanks for any insight.

wvu80 Posted October 25, 2016 Share Posted October 25, 2016 I don't know the answers to all your questions but I wouldn't be concerned with the efficiency, as the AVR's room correction will balance all that out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nlt6mor Posted October 26, 2016 Author Share Posted October 26, 2016 Thanks WVU, I hoped that would be the case. Just makes me wonder when missing 99 efficiency with 85 or so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
