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!
