Good efficency and they sound great! http://www.electrovoice.com/product.php?id=128 Of course the best choice is two more DIY EW to match the rest ![]() Jeff |

Semi-expensive, but how about a coax with a compression driver: http://www.usspeaker.com/B&C-8CX21-1.htm 94dB sensitivity.

I've actually given a little thought to trying the HSU in-walls as the wides in a 9.2 with my 4Pi's as the mains. $299 for the pair.

I am curious. With all those who have built horn/waveguide based mains, be that Geddes, Econowave, QSC, etc, what are you guys using for surrounds?
I have my eye on QSC ADS52. I haven't read anything about them though.

For home theater, just run whatever sounds good. I've used a cheap pair of Sony speakers for awhile now. My long term plans are to build something nice. But in my experience, you don't need anything fancy.
I have found though, that I prefer directional speakers. I don't like soft surround that just barely fills in the rear sound. I like rear speakers that really provide excitement from the sides/back with a bit of directionality. I wasn't able to get that with dipoles which made it sound like sounds were coming from "just somewhere" behind me.

Well, 135mm is only ~5.5", which isn't a deal killer but it means the total speaker depth is likely to be >8" in all practicality. I'd say that I'd like to keep to that or less.
