Mixing Active and Passive 5.1 setup
I currently have the M&K 750 THX speaker for my left/right/center speakers, 2 x Surround-55 tripoles for the rear channels and an V851 sub. My receiver is a Denon AV2801.
This setup sounds good for movies, but lacking for music (stereo/ 2.1).
I was researching into active speakers, in particular: Tannoy Ellipse 8 and the Precision 8D, both are studio speakers.
1. Would these studio monitors work okay in a HT environment? I was thinking of replacing the L/R fronts with the Tannoy speakers.
2. Would there be issues mixing active speakers for the front and passive for the rear surround channels?
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
