HSU Ventriloquist for Bedroom HT and Music


There is a lot of info and compliments in other threads on the value of HSU subwoofers but only a couple of comments on their "Ventriloquist" package.

It seems that they offer a particularly good deal on these HT surround speakers when purchased with one of their subwoofers.

Although I hoped to use Magnepan front, rear and surround speakers, the HSU ventriloquists are considerably cheaper and very small - do I dare say conveniently Bose like? - in size.

(Obviously, I am hoping they don't sound like Bose!)

Has anyone tried them?
Any comments on sound for HT?
Music?

Although I can't imagine they would sound as good as the Maggies with really good amps etc, is it possible that, in the end, they would sound better with my HT receiver and better integrated with the HSU subwoofer?

If they are worthwhile, where is the best place to mount these little cubes?

Thank you.

I think it was Sound and Vision in the last month or 2 that had them reviewed against the maggs, and another maker I cant recall, but it got high marks for the budget. I think there was an issue of moving them a bit farther away from the wall but all in all good review. The Maggies in their own words were a completely diffrent animal.
maybe I am partial having his sub, the review was psitive though, and he is famous for great customer service
I would change my choice from HSU to the JBL SCS300.7

This is a true 7.1 HTIB with LCR's FOR all channels with a 150 watt sub and all mounting hardware included. For true 7.1 ready sound at 699.00 its a great deal.
