Title: rear speakers
Post by: DaryanLenz on November 28, 2003, 06:49:28 PM

I am getting Jonny's swans and was wondering what everyone thought about keeping the b&w's for rears.  How often do you guys use rear's etc?


Thanks for the input

my rears are just reinforcement honestly.  i use a pair of bose 901's for the rears because they are just shooting mainly mids for me.  the swans shoot killer highs and my sub fills in the lows

I only use my rears for home theater, not for audio.

Thanks guys.  I was planning on using the swans for fronts and the dm 305's, which I really like,  for rears.  But since I don't do a whole lot of home theater stuff because I find I would rather listen than watch I may get a smaller pair of b&w bokshelf stuff, maybe dm 302's for rears.   Decisions.  I have a sub, so that shouldn't be a problem!

Do you see yourself getting more into DVD-A and SACD in the future

I see myself strictly playing dvd-a as sson as I get it all figured out.  I have the burner now, which works great.  Now if I could just track the shows damnit!  I guess I can burn it as one long file, is this correct?  I am loving 24 bit, I don't think I will be going back to 16 anytime except for backup and seeding shns or something!  The mini-me at 24 bit is night and day compared to 16 bit.

i think scervin is talking about commercially available dvd-a and sacd, as opposed to 24bit recordings.  many commercial dvd-a's and sacd's are mastered in 2 channel as well as multichannel.  while you may end up preferring only 2 channel, the multichannel mixes on some of these releases are quite well done.
