The best thing to do is bring the speakers home for audition as long as possible with your present system. Most shops will oblige but you might have to leave credit card info - just be very careful otherwise you might own them! ; >)
help me choose speakers..Totem B&W KEF Dali
i have been comparison shopping..different shops...different amps different rooms etc etc.
I seem to be drawn to the totem sttaf were driven with marantz 7001 AVR, b&w 704 (driven with integra AVR,) dali ikon 6 (driven by mcintosh), and the KEF IQ7 driven by parasound. Each speaker represents the sound i liked best at each respective shop. I am new to this so please bear with me and give constructive comments. Obviously price points are between 800/pr to 1800 a pair (704 on sale)
My use will be 70% music from jazz (brubeck,peterson, miles..) classic rock (beatles led zep, neil young) and occasional classical.
My amplification will be bi amping from my yamaha rx-v1700, possibly upgrading with a external NAD or Rotel amp...System will start as stereo and possible expand to 5.0. I will have limited rppm for a center..makes me shy away from 704's.
thanks in advance and Flame away....
