    rs150 mtm for 20x20 HT room, good idea?

    I am trying to figure out what will work best for my HT room.
    I have been looking at the CJD RS150 mtm.
    I like his design because I have enough room below the screen to stand the center channel upright.
    The modula rs180 mtm is outside my budget due to the x-over.
    I have several 27tdfc on hand and would like to utilize these.
    Question is. Will rs150 mtm fill a 20x20 room with ease?

    Any other suggestions greatly appreciated.

    Thanx
    Dan

      How loud? Crossing to a good subwoofer ~80Hz will help a lot. They won't move tons of air, but you'll still be able to get pretty loud and have clearly understood dialog and all that (which is important, of course). I run them in a 13x~30 (family/dining/kitchen type space) and they do quite well - I can't run them as loud as they'll go or my wife gets grumpy. Probably the smallest I'd recommend for your room size though.

        Loudness isn't really a concern. Clarity and quality and of course price. I will be using 2 good subs.

        The zaph bamtm is on my list also.

        Thanx for the replies.

          Have you considered Zaph's ZD3C and Towers

          I am building Zaph's center and a variation for the mains with one or two RS315HF subs. I'm still working on them and have not decided what to do for surrounds or what size TV to buy. These speakers are a real bargain at less than $200 for drivers and cross over parts each.

            A friend brought over his PSB 2b's and we set them up in my HT. I obviously had some misconceptions about 2 ways. They really sounded good. We used them for l/c/r. So now I have added the Modula MT and the SR71 to my list.
            I like the 2 ways because of there size, I could build 5 for all channels in a 5.1.
