What matters is rigidity; if a plastic enclosure is rigid enough (for its size), then it would sound the same than a hard wood enclosure. In the specific case of the Z506 model from Logitech, wooden enclosures for the satellites would make no difference; the drivers, the amps, and the enclosures are too small to shake. Only the sub-woofer enclosure is made of MDF, for a reason. So, why not using the Z506 5.1 kit from Logitech? "Multimedia" speakers are primarily designed as computer accessories; some are probably well made, excluding the one in the MoMA's permanent collection (unless aesthetic is the most important criteria). I wouldn't trust its sound quality; it's a bit small unless the listening distance is less than 2 meters, the centre speaker does not match the four other satellites, the centre speaker have 2 mids and the satellites have one mid and one tweeter, and the cross-over frequency for the sub-woofer is probably near 300Hz, which is a bit too high. For Ambisonics, I believe that better quality full-range or coaxial speakers, all matched, should be preferred. I would only such use small multimedia speakers for a very compact periphonic installation, along with 4 to 8 small sub-woofers for a supplemental horizontal or periphonic low frequency decoder. -- Marc > Cheers!!! > > Andrew Castiglione > Retired WDI A/V - Imagineer > > Think awesome, build awesome and be awesome. > > > > -----Original Message----- > From: Sursound [mailto:sursound-boun...@music.vt.edu] On Behalf Of > Matthew Palmer > Sent: Sunday, October 20, 2013 6:16 AM > To: Surround Sound discussion group > Subject: Re: [Sursound] Very inexpensive surround speakers > > Has anyone tried a system that was using the Z506 model for Logitech? > -------------- next part -------------- > An HTML attachment was scrubbed... > URL: > <https://mail.music.vt.edu/mailman/private/sursound/attachments/20131020/4bb > dc1bd/attachment.html> > _______________________________________________ > Sursound mailing list > Sursound@music.vt.edu > https://mail.music.vt.edu/mailman/listinfo/sursound > > _______________________________________________ > Sursound mailing list > Sursound@music.vt.edu > https://mail.music.vt.edu/mailman/listinfo/sursound > _______________________________________________ Sursound mailing list Sursound@music.vt.edu https://mail.music.vt.edu/mailman/listinfo/sursound
