I can't blame the sub necessarily, since it sits in the corner of my room (top-left on floor, 5' feet from the tv) on a hardwood surface, hidden by a chair and surrounded by large windows. I hear lots of rumbling, but it sounds like the cabinet is rumbling, not the room or my chest. No matter where I cross it (60 80 90), I can't get it to cooperate and sound fulfilling. The back-cans from Sonance + lots of pink insulation don't help much.Ģ) Voices are not clear/fast/articulate when I'm sitting 11' away from speaker and on a couch where my head is at 4' vertical while speaker is 9' suspended in ceilingģ) mid-highs sound good at all listening levels mid-bass sounds good when turned up loudĤ) The HRS-12 is far too boomy for my tastes and capabilities. Perhaps I should re-Audessey (spelling?) but I have bigger fish to fry.ġ) I'm tortured that I put in-ceiling speakers directly below where my 2-yr old now sleeps. For the money spent (5 speakers, 1 sub, avr + drywall work), it's difficult to hear voices (tv/movies) at normal listening levels ("normal" means not waking my 2-yr old -30dB on my Denon). I drive them with a Denon 90 wpc A/V receiver (2007 purchase - like today's 891?).Īll the technical reasons for going with in-ceiling application still exist, but I should have avoided it.
In the notional family room, I have 5 Sonance in-ceiling speakers: three 822TR's for L/C/R and two 622R surrounds. The 3 entryway's with a bump-out design makes this room feel like it's got a 14'W x 12'D x 9'H family room, a 12'W x 14'D (bumped-out) x 9'H dining/computer area, and a 14'W x 12'D x 9'H kitchen.
SONANCE MAG6R WINDOWS
My home has a 40'W x 12'D open great room (9' ceilings) with hardwood floors, a fireplace and lots of windows as canvas. I'm not an enthusiast, I enjoy listening to music and researching this fascinatingly subjective religion. I read avsforum when looking for kit, but am poor on giving back. (Though I also wouldn't have bought them for myself, but then I am really difficult to please, especially when I'm spending money.) I wouldn't have used them if I didn't think they were good speakers. Like most companies, they make some good products and some less good products. They are a very well known and widely used brand for home installs. Originally Posted by buzzy_ /forum/post/19342363 Funny how it always comes back to that, eh? If you can find out - ideally references from people you know (and that can be the general contractor if you trust them and they have real experience with the AV sub) - that's the most important thing to know.
You could learn a tremendous amount by doing a Google search.Īs always, the bottom line is whether the installer is capable and can be trusted. So the AV installer tries to sell speakers and other gear that they can make a margin on. I guess because they think they can do it themselves. Consumers are often reluctant to just pay the cost of the install, the way they would with an electrician or a plumber. That means they don't have to compete with Amazon or Best Buy, and can make enough money to cover the complexities of the install. Though lots of people say they do, but really don't, or won't pay for it.įor the installer, they are a line that is not typically available to consumers directly, although that is changing. If you want the absolute best sound, then you need to do more work. Though of course other companies offer that as well.
SONANCE MAG6R FULL
They also offer a full line of speakers, and seem likely to be around forever, which means service, repair, replacement, additional speakers, etc. (Though I also wouldn't have bought them for myself, but then I am really difficult to please, especially when I'm spending money.)įor the homeowner, they can offer good sound and build quality, if you choose the right speakers.
