Time For New Home Theater Speakers…
I am looking for recommendations so I will make it hard by keeping the price range at 10 k for the front left/right speakers and 5 k for the center channel.
Lets here your suggestions ? My theater portion of the room is 18 feet by 24 feet. I am replacing Magnepan MG III's. The Amp. is a Mcintosh Mc207. I am only using 5 channels so I can bi amp the front L/R speakers with 200 watts/channel x 2 for each speaker. I know the amps will likely be upgraded later. I have 2 JL audio F112 subs. set up now, one for each Magnepan. |

Focal Electra Be 2 series: 1038 FL/FR, CC1008 center, and whichever rears suit the room best. The beryllium tweeter can be almost too much on music, but for home theater, the detail and clarity is fantastic. Have no idea of US prices, should be in your ballpark of $15k front and center
Electra 1000 Be 2 - Focal |

David.......Bill's idea is the best suggestion you will get. Two birds with one stone. Maybe a projector upgrade while your at it.

Ok, I will play this idea out Lets say the Elipsa's move to the HT and I get a Cremona M center for the theater; now the theater is taken care of but what goes in the 2 channel room ? The Elipsa SE would be too similar to what I have and the Strads are out of my price range The Amati's won't work in there either as I tried a pair and they had too much bass for my room.

What about a used Strad?

I can vouch for and you have already heard yourself what Elipsas and Cremona Center M sounded like in my theater. The approach is a no brainer since you already have the Elipsas to put in there... Look for used Strads or explore other brands for your theater.

Klipsch LaScala II F/C/R with Hersey III for the rears and you can keep the MC207.
