    HTM4s with 805S or HTM1 signature with 805s??

    If you chose between HTM4s or HTM1 Signature which would you choose. The HTM4S can be had for £899(is this a good price??) or the HTM1 for around £1500 maybe be able to get it cheaper

    I would go with the HTM1 if I could afford it and had a proper place to set it. In my case I got the HTM4 because the only place for it is the upper shelf above the flat screen in my entertainment center. It is a good speaker, but does not have the depth or richness of tone the 804s has which is essentially the same as the HTM1. If you do a side by side comparison for dialogue you should notice the larger center is superior. Keep in mind, well over half the audio in a typical movie is broadcast through the center channel, so this would be a good choice to anchor your system.

        View and compare the graphs of these subwoofers.

        This website is for sale! avtalk.co.uk is your first and best source for all of the information you’re looking for. From general topics to more of what you would expect to find here, avtalk.co.uk has it all. We hope you find what you are searching for!


        The NEW Subwoofer Tests performed by Dale Rasco.New Threads restricted to Staff only.


        My current "reference" subwoofer(s) is/are dual CSS SDX-15's powered by a Crown I-Tech 8000 (Built the subwoofer boxes myself). I also still own a Velodyne HGS-10 too. Both of which were measured in these tests (as was various Rel's).

        I can tell you that these graphs don't lie regarding their performance.
        Personally I would stay far away from Rel IMO.

        If you don't mind me being a bit frank, some of these subwoofers are down-right disgusting and should not be called a subwoofer at all, as it gives them a bad reputation. (Yeah, some are really 'That Bad'.)

        The cards are on the table and the winning-hands are visible.
