FPM Series for rears in HT setup

[alpina]

Hi all,

Anyone using these speakers for rear surround in a HT setup?

Front end will be 705s with HTM7

Thinking of using FPM6 on either side of rear wall, inline with sofa.

What does everyone think?

Regards,

Julie

I have a full FPM setup for my home theater. I'm using FPM 4s for my surounds and they do the job very well. There is no difference between the FPM 4 and FPM 5, but the FPM 6 has bigger drivers.

Personally because im so happy with mine i dont think yo could go wrong with getting a pair.
What color are you thinking?

Hi Vancouver,

Was thinking silver on silver. What colours are yours?

How did you direct these speakers? My concerns is that they will be inline with our sofa and not pointed at the listener.

Just toying with the idea atm - they look great but not sure I can get them to work in our room

Cheers,

I have piano black and get as many compliments on the way they look as the way they sound.

I understand your concern and can give you two perspectives.

1. Surounds dont need to be facing directly at you. Unlike any other B&W speaker the FPM are designed to be sound good next to or right against a wall. In my situation they are not pointed directly right at the listener because they are on the wall pointing straight and not toe in.

2. You can get stands for the FPMs which alow you to point the speakers right at the listener. Stands are made by B&W and look great.
