an overall setup

[markyboy156]

hi

can anybody please tell me

i have 2 svs ultra towers  2 jbl 580 4 svs prime elevation speakers for atmos

using a denon 4400 amp and a emotiva xpa2

my question is which combo for fronts would work the best for this setup

the emotiva t2  and c2 centre speaker

or jbl 590  with a jbl lc2 centre speaker

or kef r300 and centre

or svs ultra towers with svs ultra centre

i will be using belden blue jeans speaker cables

a rega rp3 turntable

a oppo 205 4k player

playstation 4 pro console

xbox one x console

wii u console

buzz tv xls 3000 android box

iphone x

and a hi spec pc

a 65e6v oled tv

and a sony 75 940e tv

a virgin media v6 box

and sky q silver box

a blue node 2 streamer

and also if i use the emotiva xpa 2 amp with denon 4400

and i was to use the emotiva xpa 2 amp for the lower frequencies of the front speakers

and what intergrated amplifier would you then use for the higher frequencies

to vastly improve the 2 channel and streaming music abilities of the front speakers

with the choice of the best three front speakers to use with this setup what would you use

in your best opions

thanks

psa mtm 110 with a psa mtm 110 centre speaker

All those are different speakers (from one another). At least you're keeping to the same brand which is good to match timbre across them (i.e. same sonic signature).

Ultimately it'll come down to:

1. Your budget
2. How they sound to you. Can you audition any of them before buying?
3. Aesthetic appeal

Try to eliminate some and narrow down options. I've listened to the Kefs and was impressed. Personally, having also auditioned the Emotiva T2s & C2, I would go for them, they sound amazing - and a more economical option than some (most?) of the others.

How about a studio 520C for the center, and a set of bookshelves for the rear? I seriously do not know why you would need 3 sets of top tier floorstanders, with two sets only pulling surround duty. Every man has his reasons, but just know it is way overkill for surround duties.

I see a reference to using an XPA2 for the 'low frequencies', probably of the fronts?

You won't gain anything. EACH amp will still continue to swing the entire voltage required of a full range signal.
The only way to make something like this work is to go to a LINE LEVEL crossover before the amps. This restricts the frequencies required of
each amp to those needed by the driver. Depending on crossover frequency you can actually Increase 'apparen't power by up to about 3db. Thats double.

Crossover frequcny plays a Large Part of the above in practice.
