aprib Posted May 7, 2019 Share Posted May 7, 2019 I have a 4m (length) x 4.5m (width) room. Distance from the seated position to the TV is roughly 2.5 - 3m. The AV receiver will likely be either the (1) Denon AVR-X3500H or (2) Marantz SR5013. They both produce 100w @ 8 ohm, (20 Hz - 20 kHz, 0.08% 2ch Drive). I am unsure what the term '2ch Drive' refers to, do they only produce that power when driven 2 channels, less for all 7 channels? I am considering either the Legend Joey or Kurre for my mains. Kurlo or Kurlette for the sub. I am concerned that the Kurres will: (1) Lack current (as have been mentioned in other threads) with the AV amp (2) Introduce an overabundance of low end for my smallish room The concern with the Joey is that it will not get loud enough for home theater duties. Can anyone familiar with the Legends share your thoughts and advice, thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
betty boop Posted May 7, 2019 Share Posted May 7, 2019 As a prior legend kanga owner ... I’d say use them ... all around including for centre they’re a great speaker and if feel too big for rears go the joey these have plenty of output for sized room @legend is in the house can also suggest what feels appropriate given knowledge across the range Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(2) Don't be. For a Home Theatre setup you typically crossover (some) bass to the subwoofer. Both Denon and Marantz have Audyssey to somewhat overcome bass problems in room.
