Hi guys... its definitey been a while since I've been on here, but I couldn't stay away forever. I finally have a space that I can customize to my desire ($$$ willing) and have gotten back into the market at a time where 'deals' keep showing up.... though I'm unsure of the quality of these deals..
First off, the Encore TF speaker... I've been thinking of picking up 2-3 of these to use as a center channel and 2nd for near future to use as l/r rear surrounds... or if I got 3 to use as center and l/r rear surrounds...
The issue is that if I were to use the encore as center and l/r surround, when I make the switch up to 7.1 is it worth it to make all 4 of the surrounds the same speaker? or is it okay to have the surrounds to the side different from that of the rear, but keep those 2 the same?
Or should I just go ahead and pick up 4 of the encore... I haven't had a chance to listen to them in person, but I have yet to read a bad review of them.
I suppose a key point of information is that I've found them for 199$ with free shipping on a very popular web retailer's site.
Another thing to throw into the mix is amps... as of right now i'm planning on starting up with some emotiva amps, due to the cost to performance. I had wanted parasound, but will upgrade later when $ allows and the hd proj and screen have been taken care of.
Any tips guys?
If it changes the outcome, my goal is to eventually run vantage as front l/r and have a descent i as well.
any help will be greatly appreciated as I'm sitting on a hair trigger for purchasing right now...
