The model I'm considering is
Current Audio FIT654FL
[Link: currentaudio.com] I'm looking for something to pair with a Marantz Receiver that will have the ability to match up for warm full sounding music and impactful theater given the parameters.
Again your basic in-ceiling living room system but stepping it up a half of a notch.
I'm shopping blind when it comes to these speakers so every opinion matters.
Thank you Highfigh
I didn't use that model, but as I wrote, I prefer textile dome tweeters and a slightly muted high end from behind. The rears shouldn't be doing >20K for rear fill, anyway- reverberant sound has naturally attenuated highs. For DA response, if they'll be used for that too, you might drop the level one notch and if it works, great. I suspect they'll warm up a bit over time, too.
When I first heard their speakers, the demo was in less than optimum conditions, but they still sounded good enough that I gave them a shot and I don't regret it. I paired them with Artison Maestro fronts and they blend well.
I don't rely on ceiling speakers to do great for bass, but these were decent. This is the compromise people need to accept unless they want to spend a lot on rear speakers or bite the bullet and use the same speakers throughout, so the voicing is more even.
Are you using all in-ceiling, or stand-alone speakers for the front?
