I just bought a Denon 3805 and I'm considering M80's, VP150, and either QS8's or M3ti's (a 5.1 channel setup with a Def Tech PF15 sub). I'm wondering if my listening area would do better with direct radiating M3's or not.
The area is approx 12' X 15' X 8'. When seated, I face the 12' wall, and to my left there is no wall. It's open to the rest of the house, approx. 14' to the next wall. So while the right surround would be in a corner, the left would be near only 1 wall about 3-4 feet from the couch. The couch is up against the back wall.
Would the QS8's effects be somewhat wasted to the left open area, or am I better off going the direct radiator route?
By the way, I'll be listening to about 70% HT, 30% music, although that ratio may change once the speakers are in and I start relistening to everything!
Thx in advance!
