Polk TL3 or Martain Logan Helo 10

post #1 of 3
Thread Starter 
Hello! I have a setup for about 80/20 home HT/music. Fronts are two monitor 60s, two RM8s (height), a CS1 center, and some 10" sub from circuit city (energy i think) all powered by the Denon AVR-791. I am torn as to what I should use for the side surrounds. Two Polk TL3s or Martain Logan Helo 10s??? Or is there something even better for my situation??

The room is about 12' by 30' with the back of the seating position being 14' from the screen. The ceiling is 8' high, but it is also a drop panel style. Mounting anything larger than a small satellite speaker to the walls can't done which is why I moved the RM8s to the front height.

Would love some suggestions! My budget is $300, but possibly expandable Thanks!!

Also, the sub will be replaced by two outlaw m8's, or an EX on June.

The TL3 speakers might work OK. Monitor 30s might be good too if you can use them.

For a room that big, you need a serious subwooofer with at least a 12 inch driver and 300 watts or more of RMS power.

I suggest the Rythmic FV12 subwoofer ($499).

This is very late, but thanks a lot for your feedback!

I actually ended up going with some Mirage OS3's, and they have done very well. I really wanted the rhythmic, but whenever i checked the website, they were sold out of VF12. I ended up going with an Outlaw LFM-1 EX B-stock. Could not believe the difference!
