G'day,
From the first time I heard them, I've always been keen on getting a pair of 805s. I'd be using these as fronts as my budget won't stretch to the 804, 803, etc.
Anyway, I was wondering how 805 owners here rate the 805s for home theatre. I've only auditioned the 805 for 2-channel use, which I loved, apart from bass output. I suspect that 805 fronts + HTM2 centre may sound a little thin, lacking the slam of a full-range floorstander (even with a suitable sub).
So is a setup such as 4 x 805 + HTM2 (or 805 + HTM2 + 705) adequate for home theatre? Or is a full-range floorstander (such as the 804, 803, or Aussie Geoff's choice, the 703) necessary to bring out the best in HT?
I'd hate to spend the $$$ on 805s for 2-channel, then find the multi-channel experience to be underwhelming...
