For HT only it is pretty good. It did much better than I expected. The shifting the mid-bass to the center channel works. Is it great? No. Is it nice for $600? Yes. Does it have the best sub of $600 HTiBs? Yes. I found it pretty flawless on sound effects but not great for a dynamic score like LoTR but not HTiB awful. Doesn't Hsu have a 30 day home trial period?
HSU Ventriloquist for Bedroom HT and Music
There is a lot of info and compliments in other threads on the value of HSU subwoofers but only a couple of comments on their "Ventriloquist" package.
It seems that they offer a particularly good deal on these HT surround speakers when purchased with one of their subwoofers.
Although I hoped to use Magnepan front, rear and surround speakers, the HSU ventriloquists are considerably cheaper and very small - do I dare say conveniently Bose like? - in size.
(Obviously, I am hoping they don't sound like Bose!)
Has anyone tried them?
Any comments on sound for HT?
Music?
Although I can't imagine they would sound as good as the Maggies with really good amps etc, is it possible that, in the end, they would sound better with my HT receiver and better integrated with the HSU subwoofer?
If they are worthwhile, where is the best place to mount these little cubes?
Thank you.

LotR= Lord of the Rings It isn't that hard to repack. All six speaker go in the same box. Take a look at RAD Micros similar concept but much more attractive in form. |
