Horns for HT?


Hi all,

I'm starting to set up a second HT room in our 18'x32'x10'basement game room. I have a B&W HT/music system on the main floor featuring 800ds, HTM2D, Velodyne DD18. I would like to try something different in the basement. From what I've been told horns excel at impact\dynamics\punch. So would a HT system with horn speakers work well. Does anyone have any suggestions going this direction? I will be using Arcam AVR-600 for my processor.I'm not looking at going quite as high end as I have upstairs

Thanks, Mike

You may want to take a look at the system gallery on the Avantgarde site. There are a few 5 Solo HT systems. It may be more than you want to spend, but at least they are self amplified.
This should squash any doubts(if any) about horns for home theater.
