Hi, my name is Dennis and I'm in the
process of building my home theater.
I'm starting out with the Energy take5
and ES-8 sub. If you have installed a
take5 or similar small systems, I would
like to ask you for some advice on
installations. My living room is 20'x 18
and I've decided to use a Denon AVR2700.
This will be my first time setting up
a Dolby Digital system. I would like
to know what is the best speaker place-
ment for my living room. Will the take5
speaker be able to take the full 80watts
from the reciever? or will the front
channel have to go through the ES8 sub
to crossover the lower frequency like
most sub/sat systems? (which probably
mean I won't be able to take advantage
the LFE channel from the DD reciever)
Also, I have a couple of questions on
mountings. Will Dolby Digital sound
better when mounted higher and directed
down toward listening area or should be
positioned on stands at ear level?
(I'm asking this because since the take5
is so small, it'll be convenient on the
wall) Finally, on the surround speakers,
will the take5 be able to take 80 watts
of full range sound from the Denon?
(I understand that DD uses full range
surrounds). And what has been the best
mounting positions for the take5 when
used as fullrange surrounds? (I was
thinking about hanging both,high on the
back wall and directed toward the listen
area in the front, but I have seen some
other types of surround speaker mounted
on both sidewalls, opposed to each other
near the listener.) I don't really
understand much about speakers or the
way they are affected by positions.
Thanks for any help in advance!
