Speakers for Home Audio

[mellie]

HI All

We are installing Control4 in our newly constructed home.  We are getting a recommendation of Episode 1500 and 1700 speakers.  We already have 8" holes cut for speakers.  But we just wanted to know recommendations for speakers for a medium audiophile.  We don't know much about the specs, etc., but what should we look out for? (wattage, etc.).  

 

thanks

I have 11 of the 8" 1700 series speakers with the back boxes and are happy with them. We also install a lot of sonance and origin speakers which to me are on just as comparable. I do love installing origins as they are a cakewalk and angling them to the listening area is a very easy

I got some sonance ones and love them.  In 1 barely used location I went with Yamaha to save a few bux.  It’s ok but you can definitely hear the difference.
