Hi,
Im looking at putting together a package of 4x 705s plus a HTM7 for 5.1 HT use. I would actually like to go 6.1 (I dont have enough space for 2 speakers on my rear wall), and so my first logical choice was to go for the DS7.
The 'Interior Designer and Chief Financial Officer' has deemed that any speaker thats going on the back wall cant look like a speaker (that wipes out the possibility of using a HTM7 or a single 705 for the job), AND must be white.
Therefore the DS7 seems to be the ideal choice.
Unfortunately, it seems that its not going to be that simple.
1. Local retailer doesnt have any DS7s and wont get them in for a demo
2. Australian importer wont bring in White DS7s, (but does bring in the rest of the colours)
3. Importer refuses to split a pair of any speaker sets
My only choices are either -
1. Import DS7 pair from overseas in white
2. Purchase pair of white DS6s (which my retailer doesnt have a demo model of and wont get some in)
So, I would like to ask you all, based on your wealth of knowledge, will a DS6 cut it as fair as being put into service as a rear centre in a 4x705/HTM7 setup?
Especially as the DS7 pair will be much more expensive (considering I still have to buy a pair, regardless of whether its DS6s or DS7s) and the hassles of importing them (assuming I can find a sympathetic overseas retailer).
Your thoughts
Many thanks
David
