Speakers - KEF 3005 vs Orb Mod 2? I'm interested in a new speaker system and have more or less boiled it down to KEF 3005 or the Orb Mod 2 Has anyone else come to this dilemma, and if so, how did you decide?

I went with a 4 x10 dual voice coil 160 watt. It is a 100 times better than the original 1963 speaker, but not as good as having 2 separate speakers. I'm happy with it.

These little speakers are the best. That being said, the manuals are horrible. I actually called jbl withe same question. The answer I got was yes for one (bluetooth) and no for the other ( regular). That actually might be backwards. I never tried because the represenitive I spoke to didn't sound too sure one way or the other. It would definitely be more convienient if you could.

I have a BBox made by atrend. They are pricey, but well worth the extra money as they use thicker wood. Just make sure you get one that is the right size (volume) for the speaker (check the manual for the specs as I don't have mine handy).

I've had my pioneers in a standard pre-fab box then switched them to a custom box.. I will say the difference is like night & day, the prefab box will hit some low notes nicely, but a custom box definitely treats the speakers right & brings out the full potential of them.

Speaker Craft is Excellent but i wouldnt go less then Aim8-3's.. The quality of material in AIM-1 and AIM8-2 are not as good and you can get the 3's for just slightly more! I think if you did it how I did you would be very pleased.. Im really happy how mine turned out!! I did buy the BIC-12" ground unit for the bass but you dont have to get that extreme.. Action movies kick ass though!!

Used or new the altek landing VS_4121 speakers are my favorites. They are a smaller 2-1 setup with a Very good sound . Better than the 4122s.

Date 14 October 2009. Hey I am late in the game. Can still find the 876 online. My question too you is do you think the 876 power rating is accurate. Also looking at the 806. The 806 is maybe $300 to $400 dollars less. Do you think their is a big difference? It is 140x7 to 130x7 does it sound as close as it seems? Speakers are JBL Studio Series. Also like to watch movies in Dolby and my Denon 1082 which is 110x6 seems to run a little quiet on the center channel. Please give me your thoughts if you have time. Thank You.

Question about the B speakers. I have the right settings to make the B speakers work (thanks for that info) but there is on on set of lugs for the B speakers so they don't play in stereo. (I put both speakers on the one set of B lugs.) Is there another way the B speakers should be wired?

I use an Onkyo THX Ultra 2 receiver with these but it's probably overkill unless you have a big room and you're listening at concert hall levels. The KEF's will play very loud, very well so you can't go wrong with more power and their 8 ohm impedence is easy to drive. I have thought of getting two sets of front speakers and running them in parallel(which would be a 4ohm net impedence for the front) for a bigger sound. Electronics do sound different so audition if possible and get quality over quantity.

I prefer EVs. I think the quality is better and the range of the speakers. I use 2 15 and no sub for my events. My sound goes crazy.

Hey everyone,I just purchased this system and wanted to jump in. I'm using the Sony STR-DG820 as my receiver and have SS-B1000 bookshelf speakers as my fronts. I bought this system to use as the remainder of a 7.1 channel setup. Polk seemed to recommend the setup that Schor talked about when using their satellites in the package as front speakers. Would anyone recommend this setup with the larger bookshelf speakers or would using the sub-out on the receiver be better? Any thoughts? Thanks

I have a similar system to yours although all my components are mostly Sony. My primary speakers are Athena 125 watts per speaker, each containing a woofer, subwoofer & tweeter. I have had these Cerwin Vega VE5M speakers for about six months now, and am very pleased with the quality & sound. Although they sound great alone, I use them in conjunction with my Athenas & the increase in sound range is incredible. Although I'd highly recommend the Cerwins alone, with systems like ours, they are designed to increase the sound range, and they do the job! your system will sound twice as good if you add these to your existing speakers (although you might find they out-class your Yamahas!) -Good listening-Will I have a similar system to yours although all my components are mostly Sony.

I did a complete professional review of this product. May I suggest that you take a look and get a full look at this speaker. I liked it so much that I bought additional ones for gifts.

I have not used a subsoofer with the Orb Mini-T -- only a FL + FR stereo setup ... but thinking of how odd it would be to have a sub remain at constant level regardless of how you adjusted the stereo speaker outputs I would presume so.
