| Which amps would compliment a pair of Venere 3.0 Sounds like you did not hear a Marantz PM15S2. Too bad - its in a way different league than the 7005 which is just an AVR. No comparison!At my MDC's, the SF Cremonas & Liutos are paired with the Marantz PM15S2. You may to take another look or ... | |
| Yamaha Aventage RX-A1020 Needs some speakers You probably don't even need 200 wpc but since we don't know how big your room is, we'll start here and work our way down. Since you originally mentioned three channel amps, I will limit the discussion here. Some 3 channel amps to consider are:Par... | |
| Yamaha Aventage RX-A1020 Needs some speakers I agree with the above poster. The CM9's are very nice speakers but like most B&W's, have some pretty low impedence dips. Therefore, they will perform at their best when given plenty of high current power. The kind of power that very few AVR's... | |
| Monitor Audio RX6 Congrats on your MA's - you have three very nice speakers for your front soundstage.If I read your post correctly, you are looking for recommendations on an AVR to be used as a pre/pro and a 3 channel amp. If this is correct, why are you worried i... | |
| Which amps would compliment a pair of Venere 3.0 If your Magnolia Design Center is anything like the ones in my area, they have Sonus Faber Cremona M's and Liuto Towers hooked up to a Marantz Reference PM15S2 integrated in a different room. I recommend you spend some time there and listen to how... | |
| How would you complete this system? I am curious - who helped you pick the above list of components you already have? Probably no one, so why ask for recommendations on the most important component in the system - your speakers! All you will accomplish is getting a list of what spea... | |
| Need multi-channel that's great on 2 channel There are so many different ways to go Jeff. Since we don't know budget, I'll assume up to 5K, the price of an Arcam 600.Here are just a few solid state preamp/power amp combos you can look at starting in price low to high. All the preamps have HT... | |
| Need multi-channel that's great on 2 channel Yes Jeff, it is a recurring theme everytime the question is asked. The majority of responses will be to use a 2 channel preamp with an HT Bypass feature. I am also firmly in this camp finding the 2 channel pure direct modes of most AVR's sadly lac... | |
| In search of a new integrated I read the OP's post again and he said "the sound is not exactly what I was looking for" and "I am looking for more detailed and transparent sound".Besides room and speaker placement tweaks that you must try first, I would also suggest that maybe ... | |
| In search of a new integrated I agree with most above who advise not to change electronics. You have an outstanding integrated and CD player. Come to think of it, the speakers and the rest are not too shabby either! Your amp is more than capable of driving your SF Cremonas. Do... | |
| Is Focal 726V an upgrade over Monitor Audio RS6 ? I think the Bryston/Focal connection that you have seen at dealers is just a coincidence. The Bryston dealer in my area carries B&W and Canton. No Focal. Audio Advisor is a large Bryston internet dealer but no Focal. Music Direct carries Focal... | |
| which floor speaker up to 1500.00 I agree that in a room your size, a good pair of monitors is the way to go. I don't agree though that a good pair of floorstanders cannot be purchased for $1500 brand new. I can name many good ones that use quality drivers and pay attention to cab... | |
| Sub recommendation for vienna acoustics bach grand As a VA Bach Grand owner, count me in as another who suggests you should consider a new amp first and get a way from the limited power supplies that AVR's offer. And don't be misled by the big watts per channel that the AVR manufacturers claim - t... | |
| Floor standing speakers under $1500.00 Well Peter, you have a big room to fill. You also listen to a very wide genre of music. Finally there are many good tower speakers to choose from at $1500 pair. So finding a pair can be done.But where to begin? You now have been given three differ... | |
| Focal chorus 716 Very nice speaker for the money. But if I were you, I would be checking out the Focal 814v that is identical to the 716v in every way except it comes in Pianao Black finish. See link below for a pleasant surprise.http://www.accessories4less.com/ma... |
