I'm trying to setup a second partial HT system and I'm considering the BP8B or the BP7006 ($200 more for the pair).
My setup will be either 2.0 or 3.0 (with SM450 as center if it works).
The usage will be 50% TV, 30% music (not critical listening, just ambient), 20% movies.
I have a few questions that I'm hoping I can get some help on:
-Which of the two ranks higher in the DT product range? That is, which one uses better quality components? The 7006 has the higher MSRP but it also has a built in sub.
-Since DT is not very accurate with their FR, does anyone know what the 3dB points are for the two of them? Essentially, I just want to know if the BP8B will be good enough without a sub for non-critical music and some movie watching?
-Will the SM450 be a decent center to use with either?
-For the price difference of $200, is the SQ much better with the BP8B and the Energy S10.3. I'm reluctant to add a sub due to visual clutter, but will strongly consider for appreciably improved SQ.
Thanks for your help!
