So i'm getting a little bit closer to finishing my HT. Probably still about 6 months or so. (I hope!) I've been looking around here and there getting ideas, but I wanted to see what you guys think. Especially since I have no idea what I'm talking about when it comes to audio. I was dead set on building a set of full size "Statements", but I'm having second thoughts. My front wall will be treated with 1" linacoustic, will this interfere with the open mid design of the statements? I don't have quite the recommended 18" behind the speaker and the wall. I can manage about 12" with the size of the statements. I'd like to know if the statements are still ok? or any other recommendations. I had also looked into the Clearwave 4TSE and the Pi 4s. (a bit over budget) Maybe all 3 of them are overkill for the size room I have. I'd prefer something that isn't too difficult to build. Looks don't matter since they will be painted flat back behind my screen wall.
Also a side note...according to the online hearing tests I can't hear over 10K hertz...Unbelievable!? I'm only 30!
Here's the info:
Budget: $1200 - $1500 for all 3
Purpose: 80% movies / 20% music
Room: 27' x 11' x 7' sealed up. AT screen with about 30-32" behind it. Walls with all be treated with linacoustic up to ear height.
Listening position: Row 1-10ft, Row 2-17ft.
Power: Onkyo TX-NR3007 "140 watts" x 9 (still to be purchased)
Subwoofer: 18" Maelstrom X in a Easy Button Max tuned to ~12htz powered by an EP2500. I plan on building a second one. (or maybe picking up one Danley DTS-10 kit)
Surround: haven't bought any yet, but am leaning towards 4 Emotiva ERD-1
Thanks for the suggestions.
