I went 4it. I ordered 2-750's, 1-300, 2-200, and the tuffie was the rears. I went with Sean from Rocket recommendation, the 150's (monopoles).
Total cost with shipping is $2647.00 to Rochester NY.
I'm hoping u guys/gals from this forum have steered me in the right direction. I auditioned the Paradigm system with the 100's for a tad over $3600, so that a $1,000 difference.
I'm going with dipoles on the sides and monopole for the rears on a 7.1 system. I'v got my door open now waiting for my HK 8000 to arrive.
My speakers are on backorder so I've got some wiggle room on the rears. I'm still not sure if I should go with the monopole vs dipole on the rears. THX says dipoles all the way around. Both local dealers said to use Dipoles. Any help in this area would be greatly appreciated.
My room dimensions are 11.5'w x 25.5L. My couch is zackly 6' from the back wall. But I have a bar in the back (with tap system) and a trunk lid from a NASCAR race at pocono mounted on the ceiling which holds my funnel. I'll have to post so pic when it's all complete. Unless u want some pic now, I can do! We call it the "Racin' Room".
I have another techno guro question: Am I going to be taxing this set-up with HK8000 @ 110 watts per channel @ 5 channels. I'm going to use my HK 25II prologic for the rears (75 watts stereo).
According to Rocket, I'll be okay with the HK 8000. Remember the speakers are rated at 6 & 4 ohms. Any help in this area would be greatly appreciated, since I only know about 8 ohms speakers.
I sure hope this system is better than the one eye have now!
