Hi Danny, I'm sorry for the total noob assault here, but am hoping you can help me out. I'm about to build my 1st set of speakers to replace a pair of passive event 20/20's. These new speakers will be used for music listening solely. They are going to go in the family room which is roughly 20x13 but will be pointing into the open kitchen and just generally used for filling the house with music at any given time. With that back ground for you and me knowing that they cant sound good every where. Let's just talk about when I'm actually listening to them and just enjoying them from say, 10' away.
Now the questions because I know so little and just need to make a decision. I am trying to decide between the x-mtm and the fusion 8 from jeff bagby.
http://www.diysoundgroup.com/review/product/list/id/348/category/81/I have no way of listening to either speaker and don't even really know what I like so it may be impossible to answer. I can tell you I don't like my event's because I think they sound muddy.
How do these speakers compare sound wise? You don't have to get in-depth as it would be over my head anyway.
Will the x-mtm have a similar bass response to the fusion since it has 2 woofers?
I tried looking for numbers that would help me figure this stuff out but all I could find for the x-mtm was graphs and the sensitivity of 90db
The fusion has a db sensitivity of 94 and a FR of 65hz - 20khz
Looking at the numbers, which I don't understand anyway. I think the fusion 8 may just be a better speaker? And for the price difference it isn't even a fair comparison. I'm just looking for a brief description of what you think may suit my needs better.
I really appreciate the help and your time.
Mike
