i just need some comments on the 902's. Read some reviews at www.audioreview.com and they received fairly good recognition.
I'm just making sure that i cover all the bases before i make my purchase. So far the choices have boiled down to listed in no particular order:
Paradigm mini-monitors w/ cc370
Mordaunt-Short 902 w/ 502 center
Monitor Audio Bronze 2's w/ Bronze Center
Axiom Audio M3ti w/ vp100 center
B&W 303 w/ lcr 3
I'm planning to add a SVS 16-46pc sub during the summer so whatever i'm getting should be able to hold their own without a sub. I think most if not all of them would be able to hold their own without a sub though.
I'm also weary about the clearance required for rear-ported speakers. I'm going to put these speakers very close to my wall (1 inch of clearance) so i'm worried that they might sound boomy. How much clearance should you give these speakers?? And would angling them 45 degrees to your listening position to give the rear-ports some breathing room matter??? My room is 15ft by 30ft by 10ft, speakers are going to be set up across the 15ft width since my computer is situated in that arrangement.
