    Are these the right speakers for the right job?

    I'm thinking of buying the following in the future:  2 4T's, 1 5C, 2 5B's, 1 10D.  I plan (at this point) to drive them with an Onkyo 607 or similar midrange receiver.

    These speakers will be used initially in a 13ft by 13ft room, and later in a larger room (perhaps 20ft x 20ft), but for now let's focus on the smaller room dimensions.  The speakers will be used for both music and movies, about half and half.  I usually listen to CD or iTunes music on all 5.1 channels. (I have not gotten into any SACD, DVD-A, or Blu Ray Content)   I don't see myself listening to much music in just 2 channel form, I usually have it spread out to include all the speakers.

    I was initially going to use 4B's for my surrounds, but I noticed that the reccommended crossover point for these speakers was around 100hz.  I have heard a lot of things about bass becoming directional above 80 hz.  So in order to avoid a "gap" in frequency coverage from 80hz to 100hz I chose to go with the 5B's so that I will have full frequency coverage on all the speakers without introducing localized bass.  Is this a good choice?

    Does this sound like a good setup for my half music and half movies intentions?  Are there any other recommendations or bits of advice?  Thanks!

    Yup.  Pull the trigger and let your ears be the judge.  It's the only step you have left.  Smile
