Altecs use 4 or more run a older av receiver in party or mono. Doesn't get much better for such a set up. I used Bozaks in a similar set up. You can get Altecs less desirable models and a old AV receiver for less than $1000. Nothing else near this price range will do as well. Will take a bit of shopping to find the Altecs I picked up 8 pair this year. Going with such a set up for our New Sapien Social Club, club house. Soon a Sapiens S/C will be in your area;) Only open to homo sapiens of good character.
Challenging Speaker Situation
I have a 20' x 20' billiard room. Other than the usual square room concerns, I am looking for the best type of speakers (and their placement) to use when I'm standing and shooting a few racks. I want to get quality sound up at the listening height, but still need the music to fill this relatively large room. I like a well balanced sound quality, and will be listening to mainly jazz and rock. Amplification isn't a concern, as I have a variety from which to choose, one of which would match just about any speaker that I use. Any advice would be appreciated.
