I have a Sierra1 LCR, and they sound very good at moderate volume.
I just built 2xMFW15 Micro subs, with 2xHT18 drivers standing by for cabinet builds, and as of right now I have an iNuke 3k for the subs- I'll deal with more sub power later....
These little guys are gonna struggle mightily, it's not gonna happen, I can see that just running them up against the Micros at ~ 300W each.
Considering moving to a larger more efficient design, and after reading hard for the last day and 1/2, I'm still undecided...of course!
My theater build has not started, it's getting to Risc clip/channel/GG ordering stage though, so I'm hopeful to get it started within a month or so...so whatever I build needs to be able to run in this 1200ft^3 room in the meantime, and we know that could be awhile when building a Theater.
I originally was looking at the 1099, which as we all know is OOS, and who knows when they will come back in, then the Cinema 10's, then the 8's, then the Fusion 8 towers...
See what's going on here yet?
I've been looking at (2) driver designs(The 1099 dedicated mids was what I was looking at there) EXPLICITLY!
I kept digging around, and kept going right by the single driver Fusion line.....
Now I'm considering these:
Tempests
Pures
Cinema 10's and 8's
Alchemy 8 Towers
At 10 last night it was the Fusion 8 Alchemy Towers, or the Cinema 8's...by 2:30 this morning, I was leaning hard toward the Cinema 10's...
Today I kept reading forum posts and reviews about the Tempests, which I purposely avoided last night, thinking I wanted 2 drivers (and the dedicated Mids of the 1099!)....I'm now seriously considering the Pures or the Tempest instead.
The Pures would save me a bunch of coin, as they are far cheaper. I was going to buy a CC as well, but I think I'll be fine in Phantom in this small room, only the couch and it's 7' from the speakers- right now my Sierra CC sounds like it's on...in stereo...obviously not!
I have a limited budget of ~1K, and would love to be far under that, as there will will money flying out of my pockets for the theater build.
I also have no idea the difference in the sound between the DNA-360 and 205, or the EOS/SEOS in different sizes(the dispersion/Directivity is what I gather with the waveguides).
If the theater was done, it'd probably be 3x88's or 1099's( if they were available) across the front, but it's not, and won't be for awhile.
What do ya think guys, 2 Tempest, 2 Cinema 10's, 2 Pure's?
I'm leaning 2 Tempest right now, and adding a 3rd for LCR later, but some of you guys have heard all these.
I listen to Music alot, being a former drummer I enjoy plenty of slam.
Thanks
