Hi Matthew To start with I will be using cheap second hand Hi-FI speakers. They are Gale Gold Mrk2. I have been collecting them off ebay for a while. The Subs I have are completely over the top from my PA, and are from DB Technologies. These really are too big for the room, so will be replaced at a later date. I have also bought quite a few MOTU 2408 mrk1s that will be feeding multiple 7 channel Denon 3802 amps. These were the cheapest clean power per channel I could find (100watts). They all also respond to the same remote, so matching gains and changing volume is easy! Everything is second hand, ebay is my friend. I did quite a bit of research and listening and I think this set up is one of the cheapest ok sounding, and expandable systems I could find. Ambisonics doesn't have to be expensive, and it is surprising how much better even first order sounds on a crap system. Even stereo encoded ambisonically sounds better compared to stereo on the same system. Well to my ears anyway :) This was the cheapest ok sounding expandable system I could construct on my budget. Eventually I will be building my own array, and not using any brand boxes, but for now this will be a test for the space. I also have 10 Yamaha NS10s (the marmite of speakers:) which may employed horizontally at a later date. They are currently in my soon to be old studio.... At home I have 8 orb audio speakers and their sub.. All the best. Steve -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
