Hi guys!
So the 200SE is listed as 74Hz - 22kHz +/- 3dB.
What are you guys getting in room in terms of bottom end, specially if using it as ATMOS speakers.
For example, if using Audyssey, is it detecting it as 80hz or similar? Or even better if you did some measurements.
I want to upgrade from my Polk OWM3s as they sound a bit thin and I dont want to have to crossover higher than 80Hz which the Polk force me to as they need to be crossed over around 120-150Hz
So far I have narrowed down my search to:
HTD Q65 outdoor speakers (cheapest option)
Ascend 200SE (mid option)
Monitor Audio Bronze 50 (most expensive).

All the options above have a threaded insert so I can easily replace my current Polks with either of those.

Those specs look about what I am seeing in my room with ARC Genesis using the 200SE's as front / rear ATMOS speakers (mounted high on wall, not on ceiling). ARC sets the cross-over at 80.

I am guessing since mine will be on a ceiling (well unfinished) it may not get the same reinforcement as yours wall mounted..
Thank you!

You're welcome. My ceiling is tiered, which is why I chose to wall-mount.
