Home Theatre Speakers

post #1 of 7
Thread Starter 
Hi,

I was wondering what people think abt 5.1 home theatre systems based on the following series of speakers.

Genelec HT206

Dali Piano

Artcoustic DF65-50

Canton Karat

Thanks for your help,

Rohan

All together or each as a system?

Each as a system. Haha sorry I shdve been more clear. Imagine a system with one each of those! Im redoing the speaker systems in 3 rooms and have narrowed my search down to these 4 brands. The usage would be 50% movies and 50% music.

Thanks

What drew you to that particular selection? What are you setting as your price cap?

You must be in Europe. Most of us on this side of the pond aren't familiar with a couple of those brands.

The Dali brand has quite a few admirers here.

The Cantons are considered a bit brite for most tastes.

Artcoustics look like a gimik loudspeaker. Why hide your speaker behind a Cezanne?

Genelecs are popular in GB, but I haven't heard them myself.

Yeah I would probably rule out the Artcoustics as a 5.1 system. They would probably be a better option for the living room. The purchase is for India and I have been exposed to these brands both there and in the UK. As for why I chose these particular brands is because of people that I have been speaking to. Home Theatre Consultants, etc. And these brands seem to have emerged above the others. I would ideally like to spend abt 5000 USD on the system but am willing to go upto 7500 if its something worthwhile. I am open to any other suggestions...

there is a great deal on swan speakers going on right now at theaudioinsider. the swans are a wonderful product and sound much better than the price range they compete in. But they are very heavy and you may end up paying as much in shipping to india as the speakers cost!
