Does room size matter or just the seating distance from the speakers?ARX A3 front, A2 center, A1 surrounds. Good for music and HT, and well under your stated budget.
I'm a huge fan of simplicity, two-way crossovers keep things nice and clean.
Both will come into play. All of the speakers you mentioned in the OP are within a few dB of each other. The ARX trails the other two, on paper anyway, but is capable of high output.Does room size matter or just the seating distance from the speakers?
Thank you guys. I have looked at both Chane and SVS and they seem like nice speakers. I am leaning more towards the Prime package for $1899. I also like their piano finish option.
Now how high can I place the surrounds? In my family room I really don't want to place them on a stand because of the room size/layout it will then be right next to your ear.

My ultra surrounds are giant sized but I wall mounted them.Thank you guys! I think I will stick to my budget or even well below my budget with Chane or even the SVS prime tower package. Also I don't know how the Chane surrounds would look in my family room since they look bulky. Same for the SVS ones but at least they are smaller. On a stand they would not look bad but my plan is to place them on the wall at a certain height if I can get an installer to run the cables in wall.
My room is around 5400cf. My sub delivers and helps my current speakers but with the Prime towers or Chane I should get better mid bass with the use of the sub and speakers combined, yes?My ultra surrounds are giant sized but I wall mounted them.
The Prime series I suspect is up there with one of the bang for the bucks along with Chane. Just comes down to what you want.
NHT speakers do "OK" too for a smaller room with adequate sub. I only swapped because my room is 3k cu-ft and they were not enough for mid bass.
yes. Absolutely. I think you will find yourself asking why you waited so long! I say that because I can tell it matters to you. In short, you'll be amazed. For the surrounds, looking bulky and out of place is something only you can decide. Mine are huge, but I made a decision, and a stand for performance. My compromise was, no dedicated space. Hers was in room speakers. That's for you guys to hash out, but if it matters to you(I think it does) I say at least plead your case. Buyers remorse hurts! LolMy room is around 5400cf.

My other option could be 3.1 system but I know it will bug me not having surrounds. I plan on considering SVS or Chane and I hope I am able to get an installer to be able to wire the surrounds in wall.yes. Absolutely. I think you will find yourself asking why you waited so long!

I just might do that with some small outdoor speakers I have laying in the garage. thxFor an experiment, put up some cardboard boxes of similar size to your speaker choices and see what you think. You May gain valuable insight to what you're able to live with.
Anything to help!I just might do that with some small outdoor speakers I have laying in the garage. thx
