Speaker suggestions for saround sound.


Hi everyone I am currently looking to put a home theatre/ second two Chanel system in my basement, I have a used Cary sli-80 integrated amp for my left and right speakers. And a Yamaha av receiver for the other three Chanels. I found a deal on a totem forest souround 5.1 speaker setup for 2000$ all in on Craigslist. Or planing to go monitor audio gold 5.1 seytem. Or a B&w 704 s2. What would be a better option.

monitor audio has been a favorites since the MD952 an R700 days. Monitor audio tends to be designed around the idea of "space" being portrayed.
Probably a good thing for home theater. Depends on the rest of the gear.
The high slope crossovers for the B&W, though, tend to make angle of incidence for the seated people, be less of a critical thing. Whereas the lower slopes of crossover that monitor tends to use... being a hair more problematic in this regard. But, they may have done HT speakers differently
Regardless, a full matched set of tweets and mids, is critical for good clean HT spaciousness and sound field environments..
