Vocals which are critical in movies tend to be vague in their location. The only advantage of using open baffle speakers for HT is that you can probably dispense with a centre channel. Designs B - F also have this advantage. It takes considerable front wall treatment to get sharp imaging with open baffle speakers but at that point you may find what you like about them is gone. <br /><br />So what makes these designs suitable for HT? The dispersion is well optimised for a large listening area, not just one sweet spot. They are also easy to drive with an AVR (excluding E) and very dynamic.<br /><br />You would want to be more 2 channel oriented to prefer a 3 way OB.Paul Spencerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07514836858344391753noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8689487740107692135.post-8412091088506351492014-11-03T18:46:31.506-08:002014-11-03T18:46:31.506-08:00None of these, although A is closest.

I will be supplementing these with a conventional 18" subwoofer for HT use.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06560128581950413653noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8689487740107692135.post-36916089759703225552014-10-29T23:14:32.502-07:002014-10-29T23:14:32.502-07:00F fort LCR and B for effectsF fort LCR and B for effectsFrançois LOZANOhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17984232889160619259noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8689487740107692135.post-65436333880912043172014-10-28T23:55:35.107-07:002014-10-28T23:55:35.107-07:00Considering I intend to have a AT screen in the fu...Considering I intend to have a AT screen in the future I think I'd go with 3 x E for LCR and 4 x D for rears and effects.....
