B&W 650 Bookshelf Speakers for Music and 2ch HT?


Have a 12x14' room with 8' ceiling. Carpet on floor. Matt painted, textured drywall on all walls.

Local "audiophile" shop (only one in town) says these things are greatest since sliced bread for $650.00 They DO sound awesome in THEIR room. Next step up is $1,500 floor B&W speakers.

Am on budget. Not really a "phile" (too poor) but appreciate GOOD music. Don't have HT set up yet. Should I try to get by with 2ch or go for 3ch???

Anything better than these for the money?

I do play vinyl as well as CDs.

ALSO....What amp or receiver would you recommend? currently have Marantz 2230.

really good plan from Paraneer. I would consider if you piece together a HT system that you migrate to the .1 standard next before a 3.0 system. Opinions vary but I think you get more from a sub than a center. as well a sub can help you 2 channel system depending on your music of choice. Wish I had done what paraneer recommended back in the day.
