Hi guys
I've been looking for a 7.2.4 system for a dedicated home theater room in a new house. The room size is 22' x 14'. (Is 7.2.2 enough? Two rows of seats.. probably 3+4)
This will be for movies, music and gaming. Good bass is a priority.
AVR - Anthem MRX 1120
Projector - Epson or JVC 4K (simulated 4k)
I've demoed all the brands I could get my hands on locally.
B&W 983 and CM9, Focal Aria 926, Monitor audio silver 8, MK 950 and 300(out of my budget), Kef R700 and Polkaudio LSIM707
My favourites so far
Focal aria 926 vs MK Sound 150
Focal aria 926 was amazing. Great overall.. very good detail and bass response and imaging. Loved how they sounded. Liked them better than MK especially for 2.1 Stereo for music (not fair for mk as they aren't intended for this
)
The MK was exceptional too. Liked both the 950 and 300 that i listened to. Highly detailed and great sound imaging like the online reviews say. But I'm not sure i want my speakers hidden(performance is more important to me though) and wasn't really satisfied with the bass.
Will take a demo again to decide.
Thinking of buying two SVS SB13 ultra subwoofers to go with the speakers. Are they good enough? These subs have amazing reviews online. I really want the gut wrenching or heart thumping bass feel.. and good quality bass ofc
Or should I go for just one of the new SVS SB16 ultra or SVS PB16 ultra?
Have another option left to demo. Golden ear Triton 2. How good are they vs focal and mk sound?
Any opinions on Focal 926 vs MK 150 ? Performance vs value ?
Thank you
