Very new to this Forum and lucky to have found it.

I bought a pair of Kef C1 speakers on clearance the other day for $100. But I don't know if that's what i really want.

I do mostly movies so HT is my concern.

My budget is around $200. Room is 14.5'x19.5 ft. TV on 19.5' wall. so the surrounds would need a bit of power.

I've yet to hang up the kefs since i'm unsure. So the decision so far is between:

Kef C1 $100 on clearance
Premiere acoustic PA-6s
BIC Acoustech PL-66 (which I'm most leaning toward)

so nothing for this noob?

Be patient, someone who knows these speakers can't be on here 24/7.

You're talking rear surrounds, right?

If you really want an answer, it might help somewhat if you shared with us the rest of your system.

Sorry thought it would show by putting it in profile.

Energy RC-LCR center
Infinity primus p362
Sub is the pl-200
Room is 19.5x14.5. Set along the long side

Based on your current equipment list, I don't see any of the surround speakers being a bottleneck. Especially for HT use. How does your sub do in that room?

 

[chevegan]

The sub does very well in the room. Made a massive difference.

As far as the surround which you think will give me better sound or rather is more worth having.

None of them would be my choice - however, I would lean towards
KEF. My wild card is the Primus 152
Infinity Primus P152 Single bookshelf speaker at Crutchfield.com

I was thinking the bipole/dipole speakers would spread the sound out more for a full feel. The frequency range is an almost perfect match with the primus even more so.than the 152s

I do not pay much attention to company specs - It is your choice for the
type of sound you want. If you can not decide between option 2 or 3 on
your list - then do a coin toss. I am in the monopole camp.
