So I have clearance from the keeper of the funds to spend about $900 of our tax refund. My thinking is to build a pair of Fusion 10's and a pair of Volt 8's. Go phantom center, 4.1 surround
In the back of my mind is the nagging thought that I should just build a pair of 1099's and keep using my existing surrounds for now, but I'm not sure I'll really see the benefit over the F10's.
What I have now are 7 speakers in the 86db sensitivity range running off a Denon 1912 AVR. The 1912 has no pre-outs so I will continue to run off the AVR for the foreseeable future.
Room is 11'4" x 15' 3" x 8 = 1382 cu ft. MLP is 10' from the mains.
I want reference with extremely low distortion and power compression. I may also occasionally play music a bit over reference. I'm also hoping for an audible improvement in imaging, and high frequency detail over my current FS52 LCR setup. And I'm hoping for more of that big-theater-impact.
Question is, will the 1099's be noticeably better in my space. Both seem capable of doing what I want.
