Hi.. i am using a douk switch to go between the NAD M10V2 for music and the Marantz SR8015 for home theater. I have a 7.1.4 set up with my fronts being the B&W 702 S3 and the HTM71 S3 Center. I have 4 B&W ceiling and B&W M1’s for both surround and back surround. I have the fronts connected to the Douk Switch and the rest to the Marantz.. Hope that helps.
What is the Current Guidance on Stereo and AV Configurations
Hi,
I would really appreciate anyone's guidance and council on as to how you have your stereo and AV setups configured. I am particularly looking at the options from Primare as they seem to have a solution that can fit both use cases in a single system (SP25 Prisma + a35.8).
I have two primary questions:
- Knowing that perfection is never going to be achieved, can a single configuration be damned good enough for both use cases?
- How much of a difference does a center channel make for video?
My needs are best summed up as follows:
- 80/20 use split (80 video (mostly streamed) and 20 music).
- Currently running a NAIM integrated amp, paired with Vienna Acoustic speakers (simple, minimal and I like the sound, and the look, a lot).
- My room space is open-plan, concrete floors and two walls of glass (yup -not exactly idea) and room treatment is going to be minimal. The two of us like the minimalist aesthetic.
- IF the center channel makes enough difference I would like to flip between 2.0 (audio) and 3.0 (video) configurations.
Thank you.
