Help with JBLti10kbe speakers (1 Viewer)

[kostas]

I'm setting up my HT and I just got a deal too good to ignore. Problem is I never heard those speakers? Are the any good? The will be used for cinema use only.(dedicated room with much space!)
The whole set-up will be powered by Mcintosh amplifiers and the idea is to use the same type of speakers for all channels in a 7:1 system.
Of course L&R surround will be some dipolar speakers propably from B&W and 2 sub's propably the velodyne HGS-18).

Any input will be greatly appreciated!

I have not heard them but I would like to, supposedly they are pretty impressive. Perhaps abit overboard for HT use only but if you have the cash , why not?
I have no idea where you can buy them though.

Phil,

So they won an award based on how they look.... Maybe they
should instead shoot for awards based on how they sound???
