my front 3 are JBL, Northridge series. my 2 rear surrounds are klipsch and my sub is a 12" forward-firing 300 watt Polk. its all powered by a Pioneer Elite reciever.

and i cant use any of that poo poo because i live in a condo with shared walls on both sides.

if i could use them it would sound pretty good tho



not my speakers but they are kinda like that

Just get parabolic domes, any brand will work with your pioneer as long as you match the impedance. Klipsch are always going to be behind your amplifier and you are probably getting phasing issues and broken standing waves on guitars and poo poo.

i have had no problem with klipsch in the past i think these ones just dont sound great because they are like, the bottom of the line consumer ones and maybe they didnt qc them very carefully.

A long time ago there was a thread in the AV forum here about speaker building that inspired me to make a pair of these: http://rjbaudio.com/Microbe/microbe.html

They're small but mighty and when paired with a $120 12" Dayton sub they beat out my Andrew Jones Pioneer floorstanders.

not too shabby! i always wanted to try speaker building but i have no space to work to do it and also i dont have a soldering gun nor even a basic understanding of circuit diagrams plus my thumbs were bitten off when i was attempting to rescue a toddler from an alligator

I was getting the ones in my car replaced because one didn't work and the guy said "I found these in the shop, they weren't in a box or anything" and I said "Yeah, put em in."

I normally would do it myself but the guy that stole my stereo and hosed up the speaker made a huge mess out of the wires that I didn't want to loving deal with

the wiring on car stereos seems overly complicated to me even when it hasnt been borked up by a thief

it's a gimmick for idiots. all you need is 2 nice speakers and maaaybe a discrete sub. but probably not even.

modern films are sound designed for 5.1 and 7.1, there are discrete channels of sound for all the speakers and some sounds are supposed to be behind you, or to phase from front to back or vice-versa.

its actually really cool and it makes a difference to me at least.

lots of people are totally fine just watching movies on thier phones, they dont "need" anything more.

i dont know about 7.1, i have never had that set up. i just know that a lot of blu rays have 7.1 soundtracks on them.

i'm happy with 5.1 for the foreseeable future

no, but if your tv screen had "surround information" that immersed you in a movie 360 degrees you are telling me that would be dumb because you would still only look forward.

you have never heard a sound behind you? really?

You could do 14.1 with a toroid amp and make a perfect cube field of sound with hardly and bleed aside from reflections off stuff.
