Hi Sonnie, the AS-F2's are going to be serving both purposes in the same room. For now anyhow. By "other equipment" I should have said "speakers". I have two AS-B1's, two AS-B2's (front mains temporarily now), two AS-R1.2's and one AS-C1 center. I was just trying to decide two things being relation of speaker size to room size and whether to get the flagship model of a series I already own, or start the long process of a steady upgrade to a new speaker manufacturer.
I have since purchased the F2's and have them safe at home. I have never had speakers that sounded so good. They are temporarily connected to my old HK 110 receiver in the family room, which is open concept with the kitchen and upstairs, and I am VERY happy with the sound and my purchase. I think I can put the audio buying on hold now for a while, (save for a BFD perhaps...) and actually sit down and enjoy some movies and music.
I am apprehensive to set a 80 hz crossover on these though, and as my HK 635 in the media room has independent crossover settings I think I will only cross them over at 40 Hz and likely the rest at 80. I'll try it anyway and see.
