HORN´S honk !
In my HT , used the Avant Gard TRio in front uno´s at rear, solo´s center, the Dinamic range is amazing , as the price, but the only system that can make that is JBL Synthesis, ARRAY ,1400,880,etc in a less $$$ world. the eficiency is the key. now i had the AG in listening room , and JBL in HT.
The distance is very important , when we are listening to Master from studio, 192khz/24 , can´t be seated in front of the speaker , is the same as be in front of a SAX or Trumpet, the dinamics of real instrument it´s not easy to understand for people used to "stereos" with cd´s 44.1/16 mastered ina radio centric (compressed world). keep the distance and enjoy .
The HT is NC20, used to mix sound design in a Yamaha DM2000, with steinberg Nuendo 4, all around JBL Synthesis THX cert. Lexicon MC12HD,9.6.
I´m really involved in music and movies production , the reference is a must.
HORNS are not to be near!, maybe that´s the problem!
