anyhow, i was looking at the av123 rockets and i noticed i can get a packaged deal... but its a bit more than i was looking to spend... i was hoping to spend about 1200 for speakers.
so leads me to 2 questions... i am not familiar with dipoles so what other makers have them? and are they ok to use as rear left, center, right and obviously side?
btw, if it helps my listening is 90% movies 10%music (if that)
SG, AV123 (Rocket) has a package special until de end of november, the rockets you see pictured in one of the post have a price of $1,497.00 with freight included. The package includes as mains the RS760, and you can take your pick of dipoles or bookshelfs for your surrounds. If you mainly watch movies, go for the dipoles. They also have a package for $1,197.00, which is within your budget, that substitutes the RS760's for RS450's. Same high WAF. My wife saw these speakers online, and has been nagging me about why didn't I buy them. From reviews and opinions online, apparently they are very good speakers (I have never auditioned them).
Do not use a dipole as center...Use a dedicated center channel speaker, or a bookshelf of the same brand and series as your mains.
When my father bought his first High End Audio System back in the early 80's, I was around 12-13 yrs old, and I clearly remembered the "Woman, shut up and listen to the sound factor". Not politically correct, but much easier for us than the WAF. I am also a victim of WAF.
Maybe we should start a "Men Against WAF" club...Something like Al Bundy's "No MAMM"
