I am in a small dilemma, I have been considering a Salk songtower for a very long time, for some reason the honey oak just screams to me. But for a past week I have also been considering the HT1, so I need you guys to help me choose which one would be better.
I will be using the speakers for movies, music and gaming. I'm sticking with 2.1 channels for now, funds are somewhat limited (already have a ED A5-350 sub). I am willing to spend a little more for the HT1 if it is better. If I do go the HT1 route which veneer should I choose? I'm not sure if honey oak will look just as good on HT1 as it does on the song tower.
I will probably go with a emotiva xpa-5 amp for my needs, just for future expansion.
Avr or pre/pro is still up in the air
I do not have dedicated listening or HT room, everything will be set up in my bedroom measuring 10'x20'x9' , so would it be better with the HT1 for the smaller footprint right?, but then the price of monitor stands have to come into play also.
Room treatment will come last, and I'm pretty sure I'm going to need some bass traps
