Hi! This is my first foray into the forum world. Please forgive my lack of tech prowess.
I am looking to build a new system from the ground up. This system will do split time between Home Theater(7.2), and 2 channel stereo.
The listening/theater room is sealed, no windows, and is 25'×30'x9'
The one compnent(s) that is cemented are the speakers
2- klipsch cornwall IV(front L&R)
4- klipsch heresy IV (L&R rear, surround)
1-klipsch HERESY IV (center)
2- SVS SB16 ultra subs
Other equipment I am heavily leaning towards
AVR- Anthem MRX740
UDP- Reavon UBR-X200
Phono- pro-ject x2
Now to my questions:
1.) Please feel free to offer your opinion or thoughts on any of my choices.
2.) I am looking to add a 2 channel set tube amplifier around 25w. Suggestions? And can/how to incorporate it into my current system?
3.) The tale of two DACs. The Anthem has a 32bit/768khz unknown DAC, while the Reavon has a TI Burr-Brown PCM1795 DAC. Which is better, and how to I bypass Anthems DAC if the Reavon is better?
Those are my main questions. Please feel free to offer any advice. I look forward to your comments.
