I needed something better than the Toshiba TV's anemic weak speakers. Since I moved that TV from the Den, to the living or front room, I need better sound. I already had the 819K so it was a easy choice. The wife put limits on what I could put in there so nothing monstrous was in the plans.

Unlike the Den, this room had painted-over paneling and wood floors. Nothing soft on the walls I have to measure it but I think is close to being a 20 X 20 feet square. Since I don't have measuring equipment, I tried my Big speakers from the den since they are the most flexible. The took up too much space but convinced me that I've got to get rid of the Tapestry and Carpet in the Den LOL! The Mach Ones were sweet but needed more volume to sound their best. The Sweet 10's was the best sound + Size for normal listening and caused almost no listening fatigue.

I tried some of small speakers and the room just sucked them up. Two way speakers used on my rear channel in my computer room and even two sets of Boom box satellite speakers. The Sweet 10's fit the sound needs but were too wide and she didn't want black speakers. Of course the Klipsch Heresy's desperately needed a Sub but also the wrong color and doesn't belong to me so I cant strip and paint them.

3 days of testing later and I picked what I wanted. No way in hell did I think they'd turn out this good.

With these FR 10's I built a Sub with a 10" Dual VC Pioneer 10" sub and Dayton 240W Plate Amp. Strictly a 2.1 setup, so I didn't need the two speakers to have to do the sub's job. One thing the Klipsch made clear was Mid Bass was a must. While they have excellent Highs and High Mids, the bottom end of the Mid-range was weak.

Pictures soon!
