Ok, so the 42 " is on order(I cant hardly wait) And I'm trying to figure out what to do for speakers. It will be wall mounted. My first thought was in-wall , but when you walk into the room you will see the edge of the plasma , so I was thinking of doing some on wall but One of my co workers mentioned they might look dinky Such as the bose. I have seen a few bose in the plasma theater picture forum and a Martin Logan set up , In my opinion they look too big Plus I want decent sound I had Martin logans aerius, and cinema before, But I dont want such a directional sound either. or I would go with the script . So you see I know what I dont want, but not quite what i do want. I have worked on many fiberglass projects before So I'm thinking of making some on wall pieces, I also thought of the definitive tech Pro monitor and some how mounting them on the wall . Any ideas would be appreciated

Perhaps B&W Model VM1's?

More importantly, has anyone ever listened to either one of the above listed speakers and if so, how do they sound?

I have used the JAMO 410PDD system in a couple system I put together and they are very cool looking and sound reasonably good for this category.

To really answer your question we would have to know how big your room is, budget and litening habits.

The room is 15X18, And this is just for movies I do have a separate 2 channel listening system of B&W Bookshelf's and a Jolita Integrated tube amp With a Adcom GCD575 . I did have the Martin Logan set up for my theater But actually I did not like it very much It was too directional , So this time I want good sound Good looks But am willing to compromise sound a little to get cooler looks ,So With that in mind Budget comes in last Although the sky is not the limit I am willing to spend a fair amount on the front stage The rear are magnapans that hang off the wall But they only do an OK job or I would employ them in the front Hopefully I have given enough info for you guys to guide me to the light

I am looking into the very same things for my rear speakers and mains in my bedroom/plasma setup. I am currently looking into the Gallos and the B&W but, have not yet decided. I think the B&W's look great and go lower than the Gallos without a sub. Since I prefer not having a sub, it looks like I am leaning towards teh B&W but, noone has any reports on it yet. Let me know and i'll let you know.

Yes, I auditioned for a friend and posted my comments here http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/showt...hreadid=116513


The choice is aesthetics vs fidelity. The B&W VM1 look very nice next to a plasma -- like they were designed for that -- but sound "ok", nothing to write home about. The Gallo Due' sounds great, and also have a much different look, nice but second to the B&W. You really need to see them yourself as design is a personal thing, but without doubt they are the leading alternatives for plasma. BTW, I also looked at KEF KHT, they sound great but I don't think they fit the plasma well.

Ericbee, sorry, I didn't read your last post

My recollection is the Gallo Due' has a much better low end -- 10-20Hz lower and cleaner as well. They also play much louder.

How about the Nakamichi Soundspace 12?


I think it has that futuristic, high-tech look that will compliment any plasma display...

I have the regular gallos as center for my plasma... they sound fine, but after seeing the new VM-1, I think I am going to give one a try as a center speaker. (I need minimum height center, at 4.9" the B&W is just fine.)


The gallos will go on to surround.

If hanging on the wall, check out the Acoustic Research Phantom Series 8.3. I also like Gallo
