8-10k budget suggestions please


Hey guys, 

been out of the game about 10 years, got a new wife, new house, and plugged in my old B&W 804's.  Connected them to a Denon receiver expecting to want to do surround sound.......But forget it!  I really want to maximize my 804's for 2 channel listening.

My room is 15ft long by 13 by 9.  not very big but I need amplification and streaming capabilites.  Will add TT later as I do have vinyl.  Room tx is on it's way so let's just assume it's already done.

 

Thanks for all your help!

Transparent cables are what I use with my Lumin/Gryphon/804 system. My 804s are the latest version and measure comparatively poorly AND present a tougher load to the amplifier than your 804s, yet they were my choice for my tastes/room/budget etc. Auditioned lots of other speakers like Sonus Faber Totem Focal Spendor etc. Don't let other people tell you that your 804s are going to be a weak link, there are too many people in the hobby who love to tell others what kind of sonic profile is ideal. That Krell is going to be a fantastic match for your 804s, and yes buy good cables, and a good power conditioner (I use a Puritan PSM156), clean power is a must if you want the best out of all the upgrading you're doing.
