![]() Just like balanced clean sound and not at all interested in chasing after the ultimate sound quality.įor Atmos, I use Motion 4i speakers mounted on the wall at the ceiling height (9.5' ceiling). Let me first say that I am not an audio purist, like many on this forum and ML owners. The joys of being retired on a fixed income. I have thought about the SVS 2000 but right now I have had bills I didn't expect (my 2007 GMC Sierra truck repairs) so I spent my $1000 for my sub on transportation. I have a 700 also and it is in a medium size room and once I frequency leveled it to the room I could really use a bigger sub. But, I haven't heard it in your room to know. Is your sub delivering the bass slam for your movie watching? That 700 is a great sub for a small room but in a 20X20 I would not think it really delives the slam. This is the total for all 7 speakers and Atmos. But again if you listen at any reasonable volume level you will only be using around 10 to 20 watts with peaks to 50 watts. With Atmos it is not all that important to have high power as the speakers get a limited frequency range that will not put any stress on the power supply. Most large manufacturers of receivers (Sony, Pioneer etc.) do not put in larger power supplies in their 7 or 9 channel receivers. Denon is one of the companies that put in decent power supplies in their receivers. Your Denon will easily power your 7 channel system with an all ML speaker setup. Oh those were the days.to be young again! They were tough drivers but just not a "do it all" driver as Bose used it. Even the crappy Bose 901 took a good beating, more than I expected. I don't want to even start on all of the destructive testing I did on speakers. I have respect for high quality 4 inchers ever since then. If they do not have any bass or mid bass routed to them they will play accurately and very, very loud. I then did some testing with high quality 4 inchers and took them up to 105 db. For many years I looked down on 4 inch speakers for almost any application. But I'm talking quite loud (OK, very loud) if you like your hearing then the 4's will do nicely. If you are planning fairly loud listening then the 15's would deliver in spades. What volume do you listen at? Do you have a db meter? They are relatively cheap and worth their weight in gold for setting up a system. Your receiver/preamp will set the rears as "small" anyway so you can save money on the 4's. They all have similar sensitivity and the same tweeter across the line. I think that any of the speakers you are looking at will do the job quite well.
