I am looking into getting a Marantz 8200 receiver to go with my Audigy 2 soundcard (which is THX compatible) and various other audio sources.
However I am new to home cinema so I need some good THX standard speakers that will go with my Marantz 8200. I need 3 bookshelf speakers to act as the rear speakers (my setup is 6.1) one centre speaker, two tower speakers for the front and a nice kick ass subwoofer. I plan on placing the centre and front two speakers near my TV set so they need to magnetically shielded and the same applies for the subwoofer. Also each speaker must be a minimum of 120w as any lower and they will disintergrate as my Marantz reaches the high volume.
My budget is rather low so I am channeling a high percentage towards my speakers and receiver. Otherwise I am just getting a Sony E-Line 5 CD Changer, a Sony E-Line Twin cassette deck, a Sony Automatic Turntable and maybe a high end DAB radio if my budget streches far enough otherwise just a cheap one.
If I mix and match brands, what will the effect on the final sound quality?
Also when making suggestions, please remember that I live in the UK.
Thank you for your time!!
