Hi, I am new to the forum and new to GE and also novice in Home Theater setups as well.

I Just bought the GE T2's And really excited to get them soon. I Also am looking to order the SCXL as well soon. So the questions is regards to what to do for surrounds. How would the DefTech BP6B work as the surrounds? Would they work fine or should i be looking at GE surrounds soon and if so what would be a good option? My main use is for movies and not music. Any advice and suggestions would be great.

Hey Amit Mansuria

If you already have the DefTech's and prefer to keep your costs lower they should work fairly well. That is assuming that the drivers have a direct line of sight to your ears or both speakers are equally obstructed like the back of a couch can. DefTech makes some good speakers. Having said that, they will not be voice matched as well as using GE speakers as surrounds. The GE's would make the sound field a bit more cohesive.

Have fun with your new toys

Thanks for the advice Christo,

As for GE surrounds what would you recommend. I have a large room. I was getting the 2 DefTech's for $200 so if they would of been good i would of used my budget for other stuff i need. the Aon 3's would cost me $1k so then would Triton 7's be better for surrounds?

Hi Amit and welcome to the forum and to GoldenEar!!!!
Christo gave you some great advice, I agree with him. The Def Techs will work, but will not sound as great as GE all around, as they will match much better. I have T2s and love them, they are GREAT!!!!!!!
IF you can swing the T7s for surrounds they would be awesome, and if not then the Aon3s would be next best.
Whichever way you go, sounds like you will be enjoying a REALLY GREAT home theater soon.
Let us know what you think and keep in touch if you have any questions as you go along.
Welcome here.
God Bless,
Wayne

Thanks Wayne,

I think i will wait it out and get the T7's. I will keep my eyes on the classifieds here and see if i can catch a deal on those or maybe Ion's.

As for the power i am now considering the Denon w4200 or the w6200. Any others that would be a good option to look into?

Thanks,
Amit

Hey Amit,
that would be a great move, the T 7s are wonderful!!!!!
Have a listen to a Marantz too if you get a chance, I like them a little better than the brands you mention, but it all depends on what sounds good to you.
Happy hunting, God Bless, Wayne
