OK....
For the past ten years..... we've had the Bose accoustimass 10 system. It has done us well as we like the "virtually out of sight" feature and they sounded good to my wife and me. About 4 years ago we purchased a velodyne subwoofer to give us a big bottom end as the Bose did not quite cut it in that department. Though the Bose do sound pretty good to us with surround sound movies they are not very good at all when listening to music, particuarly SACDs.
Today....we are setting up a home theater with a Panasonic AE700 projector, a 92" diagonal screen...and wondering now....should I do something about the speakers? I know there is a decided bias against Bose here, but I'm not sure which way to go.....
Here's my request.....the room is only 15 x 14 with a low ceiling at about 7'. Is there a speaker system out there that does both movies and music well? I would lean toward another "small" speaker system and since we've already invested a good amount for the projector (still on preorder by the way), new carpet and furniture and screen, I would like to keep the costs down to around $1k + or -
I've read a lot of post on the mirads of options in small speakers that costs much less than Bose but are a lot better than Bose. The specific requirement I have is that the speaker is good for movies and music. I would like something we could mount on the wall too.
Thanks,
Bob
