I'm upgrading our rec room with a Pioneer PDP-6020HD and Integra DTR-7.8. The room is approx 27' deep and 24' wide. It has 10' ceilings. Here's what it looks like.
The Plasma is mounted in the alcove on the right.
My wife insists that I can't have floor standing or on-wall speakers. They must be in-wall. (The rear speakers for the 5.1 system will go in a soffet near the rear of the room).
At first I was just going to go with some relatively inexpensive in-walls and my installer put in a set of Tanoy IW62 TDC in-wall speakers. They're not awful, but given the size of the room, even with a sub-woofer, they are just not "strong" enough for this size of room.
Before I go do a bunch of listening, I'd like to be able to narrow it down. My installers is recommending the PSB CW600E ( http://www.psbspeakers.com/products/...n-Wall-Speaker ) and I have PSB (Image series) speakers in my theater (106" front projection with a Ruby and Integra DTR-10.5) and I love them.
The CW600E's are ~$2200 each. They better be damn good for that much. I'm willing to spend that much on great speakers, but i dont' know what else in this range is out there.
Who has experience filling a room like this with in-wall speakers?
Thanks!
