Re: Theater Setup for Multipurpose Room in Basement


If you like the definitives, go with 'em, but only after you've heard a good directional system (I can't remember if the Mythos is dipol or not). I find di-poles are great when you first hear them, but after a while, I would long for a little more directionality. As for a dealer, get out the yellow pages, and get them to give you some quotes. Maybe some MI folks can give you some leads on specific dealers.

If you have the room, get a sub from SVS or HSU instead. That little definitive is great for space-saving, but for the money, will get torn and discarded by $700 spent at SVS or HSU on a larger sub.

The only recommendation I would make is to check out the Onkyo 805 or better. go to shoponkyo.com and you can get refurbs for a song.

Also, it's a little more $$, but the Kuro Plasma is the current top dog. Get some light blocking curtains to get the most out of the Kuro's contrast levels.
