SCMS and 705

[ray5]

Hi Guys! I am in the final stages of my purchase. Went auditioning today and here is what I had/have in mind:
804S fronts
HTM 3S ctr
705 rears

Then I saw the SCMS, it sounded good and looked great! Went well with my planned fronts. Does anyone have any experience with them? How do they compare with 705's. I will be driving them with Rotel 1570 and Rotel amps.
Any insight?

Get the SCMS, it´s a very good speaker.

I have 2 pairs. I really like them for surrounds and rears!

Thanks. Anyone had a chance to compare them to the 705's?

The SCMS vote here. It is better to match each channel from the same series. I have used the SCMS for mains for half a year and if i hadn't heard the 804/803S I would have been 100% content with them for 2CH. Of course they need a sub, but the imaging and detail they produce is surprising. Give them plenty of power and you will be amazed!! :E

Have you stand mounted them? I thought they are wall mount only?

Yes, only temporarily and they worked wonderfully. I just needed to be careful as they were more susceptible to falling due to their inherent short depths. I have them wall mounted now and they work great and are versatile! :T

Thanks.

How do these compare to SCM-1s? Is it safe to assume that the difference between these two are equivalent to the difference between 805N's and 805S's?

Somewhat. However, there are physical differences as well. A flexible mounting bracket, integration of the tweeter into the cabinet, and positioning of the tweeter at the bottom of the speaker, to be closer to ear level.

Let me add my vote for SCMS (or SCM1) as well. I've had mine for a while now, and they've been great. (Search within this forum for other reviews of these speakers.)
