justin_tx_16 Posted December 4, 2001 Share Posted December 4, 2001 in our living room, roughly 24x24, we want to put in a small, very small, speaker system. i am thinking of just getting the ProMedia 4.1's and using those but was wondering if anything better can be had for arond teh ame price for the whole system (amp, receiver, speakers, sub) that is abot the same size or smaller. this room will be used rarely since it is the living room and not the ht rooms. but, it will have digital cable, dvd, cd, and radio. mostly it will be just be music. i am not looking for a speaker system that will make it sound like Mozart's symphony is actually in my living room, just good sound, that is why i am looking at the ProMedia 4.1's. It will only be a 4.1 setup, i have two 5.1 theaters in my house allready, Synergy System 6 and a Quintet.

Guest BobG Posted December 5, 2001 Share Posted December 5, 2001 ProMedias are voiced to be heard in the near field - about the distance they would be on your desktop while you work at the computer. Listening to them further away will shift the tonal balance and they will start to sound thin in the mid and upper bass, above the subwoofer's range. If you want speakers for that room, try the Quintet. They are more expensive by far but also designed to be listened to in the far field, such as the room you've described.

justin_tx_16 Posted December 5, 2001 Author Share Posted December 5, 2001 i allrady have the quintets and the synergy's. thanks for your comcern but this will not be used to entertain ppl like other systems do. a very small scale job. no one will be sitting down for these really, just next door is a Synergy 6 HT with a 55inch mitusbitsi big screen, and around the corner is another mitsubitsi (i can not spell ) home theater with the Quintets. if we REALLY want to listen to Pink Floyd as it was meant to be, we would go to one of those rooms, this room will just be like ambient sound for what i am doing with them, the pro's will do fine, i own every model and have two 5.1's on order, i am pretty sure it will work. in our old house we watched TV in our living room like once a year, the SuperBowl. and that was because our other room swere allready full of ppl ------------------ -justin I am an amateur, if it is professional; ProMedia help you want email Amy or call her @ 1-888-554-5665 Klipsch Home Audio help you want, email support@klipsch.com or call @ 1-800-KLIPSCH RA# Fax Number=317-860-9140 / Parts Department Fax Number=317-860-9150 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
