Opinions On This Setup...

BL-5s are out of the question, even if budget constraints were not there - they are too big and too "out there" looks wise for this installation. I agree that BL-3s would be a better choice for rears if the 9s are used in the front. I'll have to see what the client thinks.

I have tried 9s and 5s. I think for day-to-day listening, the 9's may be better - again because they are more forgiving of poor quality sources. I can not imagine listening to MP3 files on a  set of 5s, I think it would kill me.

Thanks for the input.
