FWIW; I have a N801, HTM1, N805 and ASW850 B&W setup driven by a Krell KSA-250 (L & R) and two Pioneer Elite M-91 (center and surround). Sounds perfect to me. In fact, my wife and I have just watched/listened to Adele live at the Royal Albert Hall on blu-ray, about as good as live sound/vision gets; and I am not particularly an Adele fan. Emotionally brilliant!
what speakers would you choose for a hometheater?
This a B&W only selection... so please no other manufactures... love them or not... this is the question.
say you are building a home theater... no two channel... already have it.
you need five speakers. fronts center and surround.
saying cost is a factor...otherwise i am sure i will get the... 800's all around or 802's all around.
not so much as i have a budget...but there has to be a cost vs. benefit here. going 800 or 802 all around can't be great cost vs. benefit as the rears get limited sound to them and they cost a bunch.
i will have a sub for the system, maybe two... but that is not in this question. as other electronics are not in question here... lets just assume i have a separates for the amp and all.
so, what would you get?
