    SCMS or DS8S for height channel speakers?

    I am thinking about trying Dolby PrologicIIz and Audyssey DSX on my setup and I stuck between those speakers.

    Is there any reason to pay extra for the dipole function of the DS8S over the SCMS when used as height channel speakers and or wide channel on DSX?

    The other parts of the setup is 800Ds/HTM1D and 4X 803Ds + 2 Subs.

      I'm not sure many people will have a good answer for this, as there are not many that have implemented it. I'm curious as well though.

          Hallo JargonGR,

          Sorry but with a system with 800, htm1 and especcialy 4 x 803D I dont know
          what give you this the model Scms / DS8s dipol? / or other 2 extra speakers...

          Personall taste: Smcs.
          if is for the DprolZ they will be placed on front or?

          a Ds8s can replace a pair of 803....

              I want to use them for height channel actually since all my other surrounds are 803Ds. Yet I find the looks of the SCMS much better than a DS8S but the latter seems a stronger/better/more flexible speaker to me while its all black cover will make it disappear better above the black border of my screen.

              What I would like to know from someone who has heard both is the sonic difference between the two given that the DS8S has a larger midrange.

                  SCMS or DS8S Surround Speakers?
                  by speakerboy
                  For space reasons, I have decided to sell my (4) 805 speakers and stands in favor of wall-mount speakers. I am considering (4) DS8S speakers but before I buy, I thought I'd get people's opinions and experiences with the SCMS speakers, DS8S speakers, or combination of both.

                  I am running...

                  SCMS DS8S 805S Power?
                  by mstang1988
                  Right now I'm on track to buy a Parasound A51 amp but I am wondering how much power the SCMS DS8S and 805S can really handle. They are all three rated at 120 Watts RMS. I'm just wondering if the A52 at 125 Watts/channel is a better fit then the 250WPC an A51 cranks out. I currently don't have any...

                  by Spanky Ham
                  I won't recant my rant about trying to find the demo at Cedia this past week, but I did hear the Audyssey/Integra demo. Apparently the real demo was offsite and you had to find some girls who were the gatekeepers. Anyway, the demo I heard was pretty good. Unfortunately, they only played the Dolby bluray...

                  Dipol-Cardioid subwoofer
                  by Leo K
                  Hi,

                  do you want to know more about the Dipol or Cardioid speaker?

                  In our photo story we do explain the acoustical shortcut and the sound waves.

                  With our experiments we show a new Dipol – Cardioid subwoofer with the efficiency of a normal subwoofer.

                  Height or wides for 802D.
                  by mal01
                  Hey Guys,
                  I need some advice on which speakers to get for height or wides and am not sure what to get. SCM-1 would work, but they are not available very often used. I have 802D, HTM1D, and DS8S for surrounds. Would 805S work? Is there an older speaker that could be had on Agon...
