Hi all!
After going nuts on the matter 705 / 805, I hope my next upgrade will be a little easier ...
I eventually decided to get the 705s. For harmonic resemblance I could (or should?) get the HTM7, since it's essentially a 705 on its side (or is it, there is a difference in sensitivity...). However there's also the HTM2...
- The HTM2 doesn't feature a FST mid-unit either. Will it therefore be a decent match with the 705s too?
- Assuming placement of an HTMx is a more common problem, any ideas?
- The center speaker will be placed on top of the television, meaning it will approximately be placed 1,5 foot higher than the mounted 705s. Will the soundstage be ruined anyway?
- Auditioning the HTM7 will be very hard (scarse availability). Any comment on the rumoured shrill performance compared to, for instance , the HTM2?
- Is the HTM2 magnetically shielded? This is not mentioned on the B&W website.
I'd very much appreciate any feedback.
Greetings!
