@maxwave "For Home HT , you want fast clear speakers : Focal , Monitor Audio ."
Totally agree. I have MA's in my main system and JBL in-wall for my HT.
With more and more music and movies being done/redone in Dolby Atmos having a timbre-matched set of speakers is more important than ever. At the very minimum all from the same vendor as they will likely share the 'house sound'.
@shooter41 As impressive as the D&D 8Cs are, integrating them into a HT appears to be quite a challenge as you will have 'dueling technologies' both acoustically and electronically between the D&Ds and the other speakers in the system and between the Lyngdorf HT processing and the onboard D&D processing.
I would consider doing the HT as a separate set of speakers entirely from your 2-Ch setup and using a high-quality in-wall solution for your HT needs. That way the visual intrusion in your room is minimized, and your 2-Ch listening and the D&Ds are unfettered by the competing interests of the HT requirements.
