Home Theater Speakers exclusively


Very little music listening. Perforated projector screen speakers will live behind, so looks mean nothing. Bought 3 B&W 603s to run across the front and I'm not impressed and I'm still within the return window. Considering used Vandersteen 3As (I've had several Vandys and love them) or something in the Tekton family. 

Thoughts? Purely front speakers for home theater.  Thanks

HT. Sigh. Oh well....

Tekton Moabs. Or whatever Tekton fits your budget.

FWIW you can skip the center channel. But if not I'm sure Eric will make or offer you a good option to go with whatever you get for L and R.

Let me add that I sold Treo CT's with the idea of getting something much less expensive for pure HT use, so no to the Moabs. Thinking DI or lower. 

I also have the Swarm four subwoofer system with two amps powering, so the low end is covered. 
I love Vandys too, but not sure how they’d play in off-axis seating for HT.  I’d consider the KEF Q750 or Q950 as they have the coaxial Uni-Q drivers that I think are supposed to have good dispersion characteristics that would be beneficial in a HT system.  The Swarm must be killer for movies!  Best of luck. 
I am building my third theater room in 10 years.  My first set of speakers were in wall RBH.  They were very good.  My next theater room I had Dali Epicon In wall speakers.  For my latest theater room I am going to try Tekton Double Impact in a 5-2-2 sytstem.  They are being built as I write this.   Again the speakers will be in wall and they are still going to be very large.  I am sure the sound will be dramatic.  I am not a fan of B&W.
