Dear All,
I am looking for in wall / in ceiling speakers for 5.1.2 Dolby Atmos setup with Denon AVR-X4400H. The Room is 12x19 ft and it is multipurpose space being a hall of a flat (typical housing arrangement in Mumbai
) with shared walls. So far I have considered or heard following set of speakers and have not really found anything spectacular or different in any of these. They sounded just about OK to me. I am also not very keen on going for dedicated Sub Woofer (hence Dali H-120 being considered). I like the soundscape to be less boom-boom and more articulate at less volume / db as possible.
I am about to go for Dali set but had epiphany to seek your opinions as well.
Sometimes external views / advise helps when one can't really figure out clear difference isn't it?
No Demo - took demo of Zensor 5 as non one has Dali in walls on demo.
Dali PHANTOM H-120 x 3 - LCR Height in Wall
Dali PHANTOM H-80 x 2 - Surround Height in Wall
PHANTOM E-60 x 2 - In Ceiling
Demo - Sounded just about OK to me. No different with or without Sub Woofer so not considering Sub Woofer here as well.
ELAC DEBUT IW-DC51-W x 1 - C Height in Wall
ELAC DEBUT IW-D61-W x 4 - LR & S Height in Wall
ELCA DEBUT IC-D61-W x 2 - In Ceiling
No Demo -
Polk VS255 C LS x 1 - C Height in Wall
Polk VS265 LS x 4 - LR & S Height in Wall
Polk 80f/x sl x 2 - In Ceiling
No Demo - Sub Woofer is a no no for me but still looking at these since they are very well priced compared to all others.
OSD BK-T53LCR x 1
OSD BK-T83 x 2
OSD BK-T61 x 2
OSD BK-R63A x 2
OSD ACOUSTIC-12 x 1
Did read about Bose, KEF, Cornered, klipsch, Tannoy, Yamaha and list is long but it is time to take final call as more I read; crazier it gets.
My ultimate plan was to have Atmos + DTS:X + Auro 3D setup compatible speaker placements but one wise soul convinced me that that's useless in a small space that I have to work with - I agreed for my own good. Have attached few pictures to give slight idea about the space I have to work within.
And yes I am upgrading from Onkyo HT 3100 which is nicely packed n stored away
