Hi all
First post here and on a steep learning curve in the world of audio!
I purchased some 803 Diamonds a few months ago and have really been enjoying them, particularly as the hours build on them. In addition to these I have a set of 805 Diamonds and DB1. The plan is to use the 805's for surrounds and 803's up front along with a CM2 centre. I also have a Linn Sneaky DAC for digital music.
Component wise is where I'm looking for guidance, although I also recognise that the CM2 isn't the ideal match alongside the 803's. I have a NAD375BEE which punches above its weight and did well with the 805's. With the 803's I feel the NAD is unfortunately underdone...
My HT is run through a Denon AVR-X4000. Usage between 2 channel and Home Theatre is around 50/50. My thinking at this point (based on prioritising where the $'s go) is to keep the Denon for HT purposes and offload the NAD in favour of a better power AMP. Mac and Classe, purely based on research at this stage, are the front runners but I am also conscious of potentially upgrading speakers down the track. Subject to listening, the MC302 seems like a good match as does the Classe CA2300.
I am relatively new to the audio world and would really value any suggestions, particularly from those that have similar speaker arrangements.
Thanks!
