What is the Best Tower and Center Channel Under $1000??????? Emotiva T1+ bit.ly/37VDqlp Emotiva C1+ bit.ly/3j1s85B Onkyo TX-NR696 amzn.to/3j0fVhq

if you are looking for towers and a center you are probably not looking for audiophile quality. The JBL Stage A170 with A135c is in the same price range and would likely have a better WAF. Also since the Emotiva's are 4ohm, they will likely need a separate power amp to go with that Onkyo?

Randy, Thanks for the in-depth review on these speakers. It was plenty interesting. I have been eyeing them right up until I inherited a pair of JBL Century L100s. Yeah. They are really old but have low hours and sound amazing. Im putting together a home theater. should i even use these for that? I was wondering if you feel they would work for a home theater set up, would the Emotiva C1 be a decent center channel... or maybe the Polk ES35? Anyway, i have watched enough of your videos this week that Im going to support your work on Patrion. In the meantime have a cup of coffee on me. Cheers

I don’t know whether I should thank you for the accurate and honest translation of listening impressions or curse you for all the money you’ve gotten me to spend over the last 6 months. Thank you for bringing me aural joy.

@@alvarsantini2653 They sound the same as in they have the same timbre. But they don’t have the same frequency response. When I ran room EQ the Denon set the T1+ to full range/crossover at 40hertz. It set the C1+ to 80 hertz. It’s kind of hard to compare them, because they really do two different things. When in 5.1 the sound is slightly more forward than when run in 2 channel. The center does a really good job with clarity and highs. The T1+ in stereo sound fuller/fatter than the 5.1 where the C1+ is more featured. Hope that helps

I have the T1+s, and I agree; I've found that the center image gets even stronger when they're facing nearly forward with only very little toe-in. All rooms are different of course. The three-way design with that dedicated midrange really does something though. I have the B1+ also, and the T1's vocal imaging is definitely a step up. The bass response is noticeably more extended as well, which I appreciate. Some manufacturers' towers don't really add appreciable bass extension compared to their bookshelf equivalents. Definitely keeping the B1s around to be rear surrounds though in case I ever have space to do 5-channel.

Another great video ... I just purchased the T1+' for my office stereo, looking forward to it. Also, GREAT comment on picking the best center channel speaker for your multi-channel system, even if it doesn't match your L/R. Your right, people get "bent" if you mention that, but it doesn't really matter in my years in this Home Theater / 2-channel hobby. I've never sat in my Home Theater and thought to myself, man, I wish the L/C/R were timbre matched ... not once. I know some high-end theater installers that start selecting speakers with the center channel, get the best one you can afford as it's the most important speaker in your multi-channel system. Thanks again ... always enjoy your videos.

Good review. On the cymbal question on the tweeter the impact happens in the midrange and the tweeter only handles harmonics. AMT’s might change the time domain between the midrange and tweeter. Certainly the hits are in the midrange domain so the crossover point might be wrong. We all think tweeters handle high frequencies and they do but it’s actually harmonics. Most instruments are well into the midrange.

But, for now I an running the C1+ between a pair of Sony SS-CS5 bookshelf speakers and the front stage is just fine. I also have an Emotiva SE8 Flex sub in the front and it works well, but a second one would be even better. Randy, When you talked about the dialog being hard to hear when only using only a right and left speaker while watching TV had the same problem. It was with my first AVR. Being a "NOOB" at the time I didn't know enough to turn off the center channel or set the unit for "stereo" output. I was dumb then and only a little less dumb now. Hehehe

@@garyhuber6325 Hi Gary, I'm so sorry to say that I have not heard the JBL speakers, but I have had my Sonys with my C1+ for over a year. I enjoyed that pairing just fine until I installed a pair of T-Zero+ towers. Having a tone matched front stage puts the spot light on the music/movie and the gear goes away. As good as the Sonys worked with the C1+ I have to recommend from now on that a matching front LCR is best at any decided budget. It sounds like you have the JBL center and I would get the A130 pair to go with it. However, If your goal, like mine, was to have an all Emotiva set-up, then the C1+ is a great place to start. Or, get the B1+ bookshelf or T-Zero towers first and leave out the center channel for now and be darn sure the center channel is turned off in the AVR or there will be next to zero dialog. I hope this helps and I'm glad to share my experiences.

I have a Polk Audio CS10 centre mated to a couple of Jamo E855 towers in my HT. They work really well together although not from the same manufacturer. The Polk is still available, the Jamos are 15 years or so old. You can get the CS10 on sale for $100 here in Canada. At that money, it's a bargain. I like the looks of the Emotiva products and they are well reviewed. Unfortunately, not directly available in Canada and so have to be ordered from the States which complicates things with shipping and import duties to consider. With exchange rates as well, prices on Emotiva products get pretty steep quite quickly which here in Canada which blunts their value proposition when compared to, say, Fluance which have comparable products.

Great info, which do you feel have the best sound stage horn loaded tweeters or ribbon tweeters for a wide variety of rock, jazz, progressive music in 2 channel

ribbons have a tendency to mess with the soundstage with certain frequencies. everything will be in place until there's a cymbal crash or something else and it will come forward for a moment. depends on the speaker and the room but as a rule of thumb they can both soundstage very well but a ribbon can, but not always, image strangely at certain frequencies in my experience.

Do you think the T1+ is worth $500 more than the Tzero as they are priced today if you already have a solid subwoofer?

Great review as usual. How would you consider T1+ with Evo 4.3 or T2+ with 4.4? Or even B with 4.2? Because price of Evo towers in here is just 15-20% higher than equivalent Emotiva.

I just wonder if either way I will need subwoofer for home theater setup then maybe instead of C1+ and T1+ I should get 3x B1+ and some better subwoofer? I wonder how it will compare.

I wonder how the Emotiva t1+ would be against the JBL studio 580? I own the 580 and happy with them, honestly. Like happy enough I don't really feel a need for anything else but...I kinda just want the Emotivas. 😂 I'd most likely be keeping them both in different rooms.

Like listening to your points in your reviews. You stopped short on recommending the surround speakers to go with the C1+ and T1+. Would you go for the B1+?

Are there any speakers (tower) that are recommended that can be placed a few inches from the wall? I need to mount some speakers in the corner of a room and need something that won't sound awful.

I have the T2+s in a 12 x 18 room. It has a big impressive sound, but the bass is sometimes too prominent and hard-hitting. This sounds fine with rock, but with tone controls I tune the bass down a few dbs for a better balance with jazz and other music. I have a subwoofer in the room, but I never use it with the T2+s!

Hi, building a system from scratch. With the T1+, what would be the “best” power source, knowing that I would later add a center, and eventually 1sub, so cost (and wife acceptance) is of concern. Any additional channels added to this would understandably also include an upgrade in the power source, many years later. Thank you
