Help Decide - Home audio speaker?

Okay, of the two you are considering, the Orb

will give you better imaging, whereas the Def

Tech will give you more performance and sub-

stantially deeper bass. However, I'm sure you

wouldn't be disappointed with either choice.

My choice given your criteria (taken from what

you have chosen) and price range, I would go

with the Hsu Research Enthusiast 2 system,

because not only will it give you greater dynam-

ics and better balance between the channels

than the others, it will sound more like the state-

of-the-art public cinemas. Most public cinemas

also use horn-loaded speakers.

One last thing... If the sphere shaped speakers

are a buying point for you, you should consider

the models from Anthony Gallo Acoustics. They

are the first to utilize this technology and I are in

a higher performance class than the Orb.

Number 2, the Definitive Pro Cinema, final answer.
