I am in the process of putting together a dedicated theater room (11' 8" wide by 24' long) with an AT screen. 2-3' of length will be behind screen,
I've already decided I want to put 3 identical speakers (LCR) behind the screen.
I was thinking about dipoles for the side surrounds and two bookshelf speakers for the rear surrounds.
My budget is definitely south of 5K.
I already have an MFW-15 subwoofer that I will be using for the time being (until it poops out -- or I upgrade it with Mark Seaton's turbo kit).
Anyhow, I was considering this option:
3 Kef Q900 BL speakers for the front LCR ($2700)
2 Kef Q800ds BL dipoles ($800)
2 Kef Q300 BL rear surrounds ($650)
What do you guys think? Will this system reach reference levels without distorting badly? Will it sound good? Any better recommendations?
Are the Q300s also good for front-high or front wides?
Thanks for the input.
