I have not heard the Chane, but it is a very long shot that the flat panel leaf tweeter of the Chane might sound simular to the Ultra's aluminum dome - about like shooting a gun straight up and holding out an apple for the bullet to hit on the way back down.

Why not get the A5.4 towers for half the price? They will sonically match the 2.4 center. Unless you plan to use that system for 2-channel music as well and need their deep bass, something that beefy is overkill.

hi

i have the monitor audio 8 fronts centre
and if i was to use jbl 580 speakers as rears and additional rears
would they sound great and work seamelessly intergrate well with the montor audio
8 front and centre

or would the jbl 580 be better for front and centre speakers for hometheatre and music use
priority hometheatre thanks

The choice of speakers should be based on your listening preferences.

However, in a home theater installation, it's always preferable to use drivers of the same brand for the front three channels. This provides a more uniform sound character. As for the surround speakers, the matching is not so critical.

i want to add a very good monoblock to the centre speaker to enhance it greatly
i will be using my marantz as main amp
then i will use the music fidelity m3i and crown 102
for the high and low frequncies then to the marantz
to my dali speakers
will connect my blue node2 to the amplifier

my question is i have enhanced my two front speakers but i want to enhance my centre speakers as
well the dali zenor vokal centre
what do you recommend as a monoblock for the centre
same as youve got
or something else you would recommend
i am using dali instead of the kefs you use to take into consideration
also i want to enhance the audio quality of the sony ux800 4k player
by using a arcam ir dac to enhance the 2 channel music of the sony ux800
can all this all be wired up to the marantz amp

As you can see he is now talking about entirely different equipment. either he sold all of it....never had it, or just loves to make bogus posts to waste people's time.

So can you post some pics of your gear "Marcus" ? For our edification?

I think Marcus is some kind of marketing research thing, not a real person. He always posts "what is the best xx for this price?" posts, and has been doing this for awhile.

Yeah, looking at this thread and the pace of questions that are somewhat random ... aside from calling out lots of audio company names, I was starting to wonder if he might be a bot!

Pretty good bot, then. I had wondered why so many down votes.

Can the admin here erase this bot?

Good question. There is never any back and forth conversation, only what's best, and then he disappears for a while , only to come back and start another useless thread two weeks later.

hi
im just wondering
what would the svs ultra towers as fronts with svs ultra centre
with 4 svs prime elevation atmos modules
using them with two chane music 5.4 rears
and chane 2.4 as additional rears
using them with a denon 4400
and either with a emotiva xpa2 gen 3 amp
or a parasound a21 amp which ever in your opions would be the better amp to use with this setup
and also with two sb 118 chane subwoofers and 2 pb16 ultra subwoofers
with blue jeans belden u500e speaker cables
what would this be like as a setup would the svs and chane speakers work well together would they blend intergrate well seamelessly with each other
and sound great together just wondering
also would i be better of changing the speaker cable thanks

and 4 svs prime elevation speakers for atmos

if i was to use emotiva t2 as fronts and a c2 centre speaker
and 2 emotiva t1 as extra surrounds
again with a denon 4400 and a emotiva xpa2 gen3 amp
again would they work very well as a speaker package together


if not what if i was to use the emotiva t2 as fronts and a c2 centre
and 4 svs elevation speakers as well

with 2 chane 5.4 speakers
with 2 chane 2.4 speakers as additional rears
with a denon 4400
and a emotiva xpa 2 gen 3

[marcus oakley]

hi

can anybody please tell me

i have 2 svs ultra towers 2 jbl 580 4 svs prime elevation speakers for atmos

using a denon 4400 amp and a emotiva xpa2

my question is which combo for fronts would work the best for this setup

the emotiva t2 and c2 centre speaker
or jbl 590 with a jbl lc2 centre speaker
or kef r300 and centre
or svs ultra towers with svs ultra centre
or chane 5.4 fronts and chane 2.4 centre
or psa mtm 110 with psa mtm 110 centre

i will be using belden blue jeans speaker cables
a rega rp3 turntable
a oppo 205 4k player
playstation 4 pro console
xbox one x console
wii u console
buzz tv xls 3000 android box
iphone x
and a hi spec pc
a 65e6v oled tv
and a sony 75 940e tv
a virgin media v6 box
and sky q silver box
a blue node 2 streamer

and also if i use the emotiva xpa 2 amp with denon 4400
and i was to use the emotiva xpa 2 amp for the lower frequencies of the front speakers
and what intergrated amplifier would you then use for the higher frequencies
to vastly improve the 2 channel and streaming music abilities of the front speakers
with the choice of the best three front speakers to use with this setup what would you use
in your best opions
thanks

Your imagination for gear combos has no bounds. Fascinating in a way. Tiresome, too.
