Salk HT1-TL and Song Center and Surrounds a Match?


Hi folks!

Super excited, new owner of Salk HT1-TLs to arrive in the next day or so.

My question is regarding a HT set-up. I understand that Salk STs are a pretty close match to HT1-TLs - I wanted to get the opinion if a Song Center and Song Surrounds would be a good match? The HT1-TLs have the ribbon tweeter and Songs don't.

Also I would drive this with an Emotiva XPA-5 and an Anthem MRX700 - do you think that is a good pairing? I understand they benefit from a bit more power.

Thanks all!

The HT2C would be a better match for the center, it uses the same drivers as the HT1-TL. Same with the surrounds, if you don't mind spending the money, you could match the drivers.
Salk will make anything you want, I had them make me a custom sized supercharged song center.
The HT-1 TLs have 85 db sensitivity, so they would benefit from some power. If you're planning on a separate amp, save the money and get the MRX300. The additional features in the 700 aren't worth $1000 if you're not using the amps.
The Veracity CC is 88db, so it won't need as much power.
I'm using the MRX300 into a Parasound 5 channel amp (225w/ch into 8 ohms).
