Hi All!
New member here!
I've been following Audioholics for a while now & love the content.
I'm in the process of looking for a house to purchase & one of the things I'm looking for is a basement for you guessed it, Home Theater.
I come from Live Sound & Production work, so I've always thought, well...the speakers I use for my work prioritize in their design, spl, coverage & of course, as much as a stable frequency response throughout the spectrum as it can within the given budget.
& for the faults in the response that show up after proper placement, we have dsp.
Saw a
video posted a while ago about "Studio Powered Monitors" & how "accurate" for the money they were for our purposes.
Which, it's been a given. Always. That's their whole thing "Accuracy, Monitoring for sonic decision making"
So, why is it that they are not the first choice? I couldn't think that running an extra cable could get in the way of choosing them over Passives. Since you only need to run it once.
Which leads me to the "Live Sound" Powered Speakers. I can't seem to find any information about how would they fare in Home Theater or any examples.
Nevertheless, I'm thinking of going this route given that I'm very familiar with them.
This is the idea:
QSC K12.2 for LCR
QSC CP8 for Surrounds
Emotiva RMC-1L for Processing
For In-Ceilings I figured that some well reviewed 8-inch's with a simple pair of stereo amps will do.
For Subs, well haven't decided what model but seems that the brand that is a no brainer is SVS. Which I already own one of their subs & I'm pleased with it.
So would love to hear what you guys have to say! I'm sure I can't be the only one going with this train of thought...
