    Freestanding surrounds/side channel speakers (for 803D anchored system)

    Hi all,

    Newbie post here, but I did search forums first.

    Waiting on delivery of 803D fronts and Vincent Monoblock amps for stereo. Considering going for the HTM2D center. Currently have Polk side/rear channel speakers which are wall mounted in current apartment. Looking at moving to a new apartment where we will not have side walls for mounting HT speakers. Most 803D-HTM2D based HT configurations I have read about use 805s for the surrounds. Since they are stand mounted, they would work as freestanding surrounds, but they come with a pretty hefty price tag given their less demanding assignment (particularly if I go all the way to 7 channel).

    Does anyone have a view of more affordable free standing surrounds that would be a good match for the 803Ds and HTM2D? Many thanks in advance.

    705 as surrounds with 803D and HTM2D?
    by indiebands
    Hi All,

    Any views on the acoustic match of the 705's as surrounds for a system anchored by 803Ds (front) and HTM2D center? Thanks in advance. I know that 805's are more commonly matched with the 803D's but their price tag is pretty high for surround channels.

    Thanks in...
