Hello everyone,
I am trying to decide on a speaker system to complete my home theater system. I have some unusual requirements, which has made this challenging:
1. The front 3 speakers MUST be able to be CEILING mounted (long story, but I cannot do In or On walls). I am willing to purchase additional brackets, if necessary, to help mount the speakers to the ceiling.
2. I would prefer 5 white speakers, but would settle for silver. Black is not an option.
3. I already own a powered sub (Klipsch RW-12), so that is not a critical deciding factor.
4. Max budget of 2k.
5. Room is 15' W x 25' D, 7.5' H.
6. Receiver is a Yamaha RXV2400.
I have researched and considered the following (in no particular order):
1. KEF KHT2005.2 system (read great things, have not listened yet though)
2. B&W LM1 x 5 (heard and liked, but a little concerned that center might be too small)
3. Orb Audio Mod2 system (does anyone have specs for these speakers?... are they 4,6 or 8ohm?)
4. Paradigm Quantum system (heard and liked, but are very boxy and have black grills)
5. Polk Atrium 65 x 3 and FXi3 x 2 (concerned about polk's recent quality dip)
Please provide any insights that you might have on these 5 options...
Thanks so much for your help!!!
