Do all speakers need to be the same size and carry the same frequency range in a Home Theater set up?
I am in the market for creating a Home Theater System. I have found some speakers that I like but I am not sure if they will work with my a/v reciever. The speakers are as follows: Fronts, E-710's{frequency range-38HZ to 20KHZ}, Rears, E-78's{frequency range 40HZ to 20KHZ}, Center, E-75C{frequency range 60HZ to 20KHZ}, and I already have a LW 12 Powered Subwoofer. My reciever is 130 watts per channel, frequency range 20HZ to 20KHZ.{the frequency range for the dvd input on the reciever is 10HZ to 100KHZ, if that helps. Will the speakers that I have just mentioned work, or what should I be looking for then. these are all Cerwin-Vega Speakers.
Okay, to give you a direct answer to your question, no. The most important criteria for a good HT set-up is that all speakers are properly voice-matched. This is usually done by designing the home theater around the same tweeter and mid/bass drivers in each speaker and all speakers crossed over at the same point.
The bass driver (be it in a 3-way design or a dedicated powered subwoofer), depending upon how low it is crossed over, the subwoofer is virtually omni-directional sound and doesn't need to be in all speakers.
Ideally, having 5 of the same speaker would easily address any potential issues with the balance of loudness, radiation pattern, tonal balance, and power handling, discounting from a seamless transition throught the Surround Sound Speaker system, but may not be as practical financially or space-wise and placement convenience.
CE-710 . . . . . . . . . . 95 dB @ 1m/2.83v (adjust fronts to "0 dB")
CE-708 . . . . . . . . . . 90 dB @ 1m.2.83v (adjust rears to "+5 dB")
CE-75C . . . . . . . . . . 91 dB @ 1m/2.83v (adjust center to "+4 dB")
You will need to experiment with the placement, crossover points, and volume of your subwoofer, but I would start out by placing in a corner behind one of the Front Speakers, and setting the variable crossover (you may need to adjust the phase to either 0º or 180º) to the Center Channel's F3 which is 60 Hz and perhaps make the appropriate adjustments from there if needed.
Set your receiver to run all of your speakers Full Range (or BIG, depending upon how your receiver describes it's set-up in the on-screen menu -consult your receiver's owner's manual for assistance).
Your speaker should work well as that they appear to be properly voiced, although since each speaker's sensitivity is different, you will need to make loudness adjustments for each speaker to create the appropriate balance.
