I am looking to buy speakers for a home theater, but I need the low down.
I keep reading reviews on high end speakers and how people compare them side-by-side using the same classical music, etc. I believe in a good investment in a sub and an amp.
However, the fronts, center and rears. I am not that interested how speakers will image a classical band, but whether it will be able to play an action scene from Star Wars without blowing up. To me what audiophiles chose for their music may not be a good fit for home theater.
To me home theater speakers need to produce just enough imagining (for a movie) while having the power handling to take on some explosive scenes. For example, I know B&W are excellent speakers, but are they the best bang for my buck for playing loud (and clear) movies?
P.S. Any advice on speaker helps me too
