I have a Yamaha 7.2 channel receiver with 100 watts in each channel. Am looking for big sound effect with small speakers. I was about to buy a bose for my requirement but am hearing lot of comments that there are many brands lot better than bose and less costlier than bose. Kindly suggest a company and model of speakers that will be the BEST
Answer
What are your goals (besides "big sound effect") and budget? I assume your budget is fairly high, considering that you were looking at Bose?
It's often recommended on a constrained budget to start with the front two or three speakers, then a sub, then surround speakers. Or buy used. Something to consider.
Realize you're asking for opposing constraints: Small speaker, big sound. It's like asking for a "small engine with tremendous output." Usually in such circumstances it takes more money to achieve this.
For speakers, that means they need to be more sensitive, be able to handle more watts, so that they can be smaller in size. For instance, that's how the little might subs that are only 12" achieve big output: they use 2,000w amps, and that costs money.
Goals:
If you want to watch film and TV with a bunch of other people, then providing a good experience for those people is important.
This means the sound needs to be good at a variety of seating locations. A bipolar surround speaker, that fires sound in a couple directions, might work better.
Also, the center speaker will be more important (as opposed to just two front speakers to start with).
If you like action movies, then anemic speakers will disappoint. Sure, small speakers may sound better than TV speakers, but soon you'll wonder "Why doesn't this sound nearly as good as at our crappy local commercial theater?"
Think about WHY you want small speakers? Is it because of decorating constraints? The best speakers for architectural constraints are those that you don't see at all. For a theater room with a projector, one hides the speakers behind the screen, and in side and rear architectural columns.
In a living room, one uses in-wall speakers with paintable grills, so they almost disappear into the wall. This allows you to use, for instance, a 6" or 8" woofer to provide the mid-bass that will be lacking from a little 4" driver.
If in-walls won't work, consider on-walls, like the Paradigm Millenia series recommended. If "small speakers" means "narrow profile," then speakers with a lot of 3" drivers can achieve things that one 3" driver could. It means a 4" wide speaker that's two feet tall.
Don't skimp on the subwoofer. It's very important for music and effects-laden films. Low bass is extremely difficult to produce. As I wrote above, if you need a smaller sub, then expect to pay more for a big amp. Or choose a larger sub that's of furniture grade and use it as a side table next to seating. Or hide it in a corner under a plant or behind furniture.

Should i buy a home theatre system or a dvd hi-fi system?
Ruchik
hey guys there! i am really confused what should i buy. i am intrested in buying a system for my room. i would play movies and music both on the system .so what should i buy a home theatre system or a dvd hi-fi system? plz suggest me.
Answer
I would buy a combination of both of them .Thats what i
ended up doing for myself .Long before DVD's, Widescreen Television and Home Theater became available i used to listen to music all the time.I have been interested in high quality sound reproduction for over 40 years.and have upgraded my components many times and the system i have now gives me great pleasure listening to music.I was lucky enough to have a dedicated listening room built onto the back of my house .The room is 26 feet long.15feet wide and 8feet high.
The equipment i have at the moment for listening is :
Pro-Ject turntable,JH formula 4 arm and Ortofon cartridge.
NAD dvd cd player.
NAD pre-amp
QUAD 306 POWER AMP.
Carver c9 sonic hologram generator.
Rogers studio 1 loudspeakers.
Van Den Hul new silver inner tonearm wire
Van Den Hul tonearm to pre-amp cable
Cable Talk interconnects
Van Den Hul loudspeaker cable.
The room has curtains covering the side walls..
the wall adjacent to the back wall has a large window and i originally had heavy curtains that opened and closed from the middle of the window. the back wall where the seating is located is bare.
The reason for having all this covering is to hear the sonic advantages of the hologram generator. When the hologram generator is working correctly the soundstage is dramatically changed from the narrow stereo image that forms between the 2 loudspeakers to a very wide and deep and spacious panarama .It frees the sound from the constraints of the speakers and from the confines of the listening room
I hope i am not boring you with all this detail but this is how i achieved the system that i am finally (i hope) happy with.
I take it that you are starting from scratch and are not going to use any equipment you may already have. How much money are you prepaired to use.Have you set yourself a limit .Not knowing makes it a bit hard to recommend a particular brand but we will give it a go .
You will need a surround sound A/V amplifier or receiver.
If you buy a surround sound amplifier that has everything in the one chassis you will be limited to your hi fi sound for music.
I would buy a separate pre-amp and power amp to give you more flexability.If you are not too concerned abou listening to am or fm radio you don't need a receiver. It is extra circuitry which dergrades the sound .
NAD have separate surround sound preamplifiers with all the home cinema circuitry plus you can use it for dedicated listening of music.
Then you have a choice of separate power amplifiers with 5,6, or 12 channels
Hope this has been a bit of help for you.
I just want to quickly tell you what happened when i set up my projector and screen. I was aware that i was only going to hear some of the audio because i did not have a surround sound amplifier and extra speakers around the room and no subwoofer.
The sonic hologram gave me a huge auditorium with sound streaming past me with unbelieable depth behind me .I am not making this up it was truly amazing .I new it made music come alive but not all the extra info. in multi channel.
So my friend i have the best of both worlds without paying for other equipment.
Good luck in your search for your equipment'
