Greeting's all. I recently found this site and have to say I'm very impressed with the wealth of knowledge available here. So here's my question. I'm shopping for a set of speakers for an Onkyo TX-SR507. Basically the crossroad that I've come to is, what's more important, speaker quality or speaker size? Given my budget and the comparable costs, the two speaker sets I'm comparing are the Onkyo SKS-HT540 and the Energy Take 5 Classics. The Onkyos provide a larger surface area and double the drivers, but I'm to believe the Energy's are of a better quality. I think (from personal experience) that I would prefer the more emcompassing sound of the Onkyo's but I keep hearing great things about the Energy's. I have no doubt that I would probably be tickled to have either set, but I keep coming back to the thought that if I went with the Energys, I would be missing some mid-range due to their size. Thoughts?
Here's a photo of where the speakers would be set up. You can see it opens up to the kitchen and the hallway makes it offset a bit, but would still be centered to the TV and viewer. The home is actually pre-wired for surround, would I be dissatisfied with the result if the speakers were to be hung from the ceiling versus at ear level?
