In Reply to: Rear - Floorstander or mini-monitor posted by TOURIST on February 26, 2002 at 18:25:56:
If you are only using them for HT I would not be too concerned PROVIDED your mini monitors can take the occasional heavy signal.Generally accepted view is that they should match characteristics with the mains so, provided you have good bass management and the sound characteristics of your choices are similar, then use the minis.
If you become diasisfied with that you can always change later but I would guess the minis would meet with a higher WAF if that is an issue.

Actually, I would like to know which is better for sound production for both HT and MC. I got the space and a set of floor-stander at close-out sales so cost isn't a factor either. So let's ignore cost and WAF factors. So which is better, floorstander or mini-monitor? Would really apprecaite some answer. Thanks
Well I guess if the midrange & top are similar quality on both I'd go for the floorstander and have done that here.However many mini monitors have superior sound to floor standers so it is a bit dangerous to generalise. Also the room acoustics is a factor to consider if you have bass pouring out from both ends of the room. It could prove to be superb but, given the wrong combination of room dimensions it could end up very wierd.
Much as I'd like to give more specific advise it is really impossible. In your situation I would try to borrow a pair of floorstanders from a dealer or friend and try them out and then make the decision. Even then, a deal of experimenting with positioning would be important before making that final decision.
