para sakin wala din.

depende na sa iba yan, kung may budget, e di wow!

may time nga lang din nag iinarate na ako dahil gusto ko separate din ang pang HT at Music. ;D

sabi nga nila wala basagan ng trip, basta may pambili, e di bira lang ng bira. >:D

In my experience THX designed LCR's (The LCR ones with M-T-T-M configuration) sound sooo dynamic in movies but are satisfactory performers in audio. My set is paired with its obligatory partner THX 6 channel amp and a THX approved pre/processor.

maybe Obsi can chime in on this since he is the THX guru.

I like my Audio speakers to whisper and relax me, while I like my HT set-up to excite and thrill me.
Several attempts to mix both desired qualities have not succeeded despite multiple combinations.

I envy those who have succeeded in combining both HT and Audio set-ups.


I've been constantly reading comments that a speaker is good for HT or music & vice versa. Is there really such thing as speakers designed specifically for HT or music? If so, what would be the differences or characteristics that would seperate them.


My take:

Wala.  ;D

For me, both applications would require dynamics, details, broad freq range, accuracy, SPL etc.

Hehe! Hindi naman. And i'm not really trying to make a point. Alam niyo naman hindi ako masyadong subjective.  ;D Para lang ma-prove or disprove din natin ang mga ideas, including mine as well.  ;)

Pero I agree with the guys here na no matter what, preference pa din will rule.

So wala na akong tama and hangover. Let's get back to the topic.

Is there such thing as speakers for HT and speakers for stereo?

personally, there should be no difference.  a speaker is a speaker.  nagkakatalo nalang sa preference.  most that i know, including me, loves warm tone, delicate midrange and laid-back music presentation.  kaiba naman sa HT, i would prefer ung lively and makalansing na tunog, specially on action movies.  hehehe!

Jojo,
You should try auditioning the Goldenear Triton 7...
For audio drive the pair with Tube Amp (Line Magnetic with 845 tubes)
For HT use it with Denon or Marantz AVR

So a solution is to get a neutral/flat sounding speaker.

Then connect it to a warm pre amp/amp for stereo, and then to a more dynamic and lively AVR. Best of both worlds :)

Or just a diff setup for both....

But then again it warrants the question, "Is there such thing as speakers for HT and speakers for stereo?"

hehehehe  ;D

In a perfect world, NONE

Loudspeakers are designed to "Faithfully" re-create what is on the source material regardless if its Susan Wong whispering loves notes to you or a Galactic cruiser travelling at warp speed. Sadly not all loudspeakers and the engineers designing them can do this, their hands are tied due to available technology, cost, size and target market constraints.  So what the manufacturers end up is several "types" of speakers to cater to each need. Some are brash for HT and some are seductively sweet for 2 channel listening, but at the other end of the spectrum, the uber high end, you can have your HT and Music too without compromises

kahit 2 units na pang center channel speaker, pwede rin i setup na stereo basta ba magugustuhan mo eh, hehe. eh kung 2 subwoofer kaya ?  ::)

pero meron nito.

high end / expensive speakers - pang audio lang baka kasi masira lang sa HT lalu na pag ginamit sa videoke.

the video enhances the listening experience, since two senses are at work here....
like listening/watching to concert videos for example, you know where the performers are and
that lessens the brains' work, less guessing by the brain....

in my case the difference lies in the sound characteristic preference.

for movies - more of neutral sounding speakers with warmish receiver.
for music - more of round full body sounding speakers matched with neutral warmish amp.

my actual HT set up: yung fronts ng HT ko nakikisaksak lang sa 2 channel set-up speakers ko. of course my HT has separate center and surrounds.

mas higher level yung speakers ng 2 channel set-up.

I think it boils down to preference. Ung mga harsh sounding speakers ung madali and ear fatigue, i find them good for HT and will not use them for music.
