I have found that kef kht 2005 eggs are very good value when found second
hand.
The subs have problems with the power supply in the amps.

For basic sound design me the most sensible and basic peripheral array is a
cube, quad around the listener and quad at height, perhaps with one in the
middle behind the screen for film dialogue.

LS3s are good option and Earl Geddes himself rates them quite highly (as he
did the behringer truth) .  I wouldn't limit yourself to ambisonics , just
normal  3d amplitude panning can get you equally good results.It also
depends why you are mixing in 3D audio - is it for your own listening
pleasure ? or is it to create content for games / film etc ?

are any opinions? Thanks !

[Sursound] 3D7.1 speaker setup

[Albert Leusink]

Hello all,

Now that I’m getting a bit claustrophobic from the constant headphone use
when mixing 3rd order Ambisonics, it would be nice to have a speaker-based
solution that would give my ear lobes some relief, but doesn't break the bank..


Does anyone have any experiences with the 3D7.1 setup described here?:

http://www.codemasters.com/research/3D_sound_for_3D_games.pdf


Would this be adequate as an entry point for 3rd order listening, or is
there a better solution (which uses about the same amount of speakers…) ?


Any budget speaker recommendations? 

I’m looking at the JBL LSR 300 series powered monitors as a good candidate,
as they can be had for around $150 each and have good reviews.

Is 1 sub enough, or is it better to have 2 (these speakers roll-of very
quickly below 75Hz)
 
Their dispersion is sort of wide though, is this a benefit, to fill in the
"holes" due the small number of speakers used, or a negative in terms of
phase cancellation problems?

Thanks !

Albert
