Hi Guys,
I'm looking at buying a HTIB given my limited budget, which I am tossing up between 2 models of the same brand with same power output for each channel, same receiver etc. Only difference is, one has tallboy speakers, the other has satellites.
It is going in my bedroom, but I don't think tallboy speakers would fit very well in my room, but satellite speakers could be mounted on the shelf above my bed.
Now, the problem i want to have answered, is that given the speakers have the same output etc. generally speaking would there be much or any difference in the sound quality between the two types of speakers and how much noticable?
On a sidenote, subwoofers come in passive or active right? Which one is the way to go? both HTIB say 600w output (220 from SW, 380 from receiver)
Cheers!
