I just purchased a 704/HTM7 combination for the front and am now considering my surround options. I haven't seen much traffic on the forum on the DS7 (seems most people go for the 705's). I'm interested in the DS7 for wall mount capability and the much shallower profile. Has anybody had good/bad experience w/ the DS7's? Any glaring reason why people go for the 705 for surround?

The biggest reason the 705 is picked is for multi-channel stereo.
It has been recommended to use a dipole speaker for surround for movies to give it more ambiance as opposed to sound comming from a localized speaker.
But, if you ever plan on doing multi-channel stereo, you will wish u have the 705s or even matching 704s. Which is what I would recommend...after paying out the money for the stands, the 704s are too much farther away in cost. -
The DS7 is switchable so I can get monopole for multi-channel if I want. If not next to the wall the 705 (or 704) has more bass response, but I'd probably need to block the ports if they're against the wall.Comment

I guess the question to be answered is how a 705 compares to the DS7 monopole? I haven't compared the two directly but would be willing to bet the 705 would be a better candidate for multichannel music. However, the DS7s might make a better compromise (switchable) depending on your goal.Comment
