Hi,
Newbie here and planning to save up for my home theater. I got a good deal on the Anthem PVA7 amp from a Montreal dealer that I couldn't pass up (it is an amazing amp for two channel...what a surprise!!). I am thinking of purchasing the AVM20 next year.
The dilemma is the speakers. My basement is 29 feet x 30 feet and almost a perfect rectangle (speakers are set about 8 feet away from the back wall, listening distance from speaker to couch about 8 feet and ceiling is 8 feet). The floor is carpet over concrete. I have seen but not heard the Epic 80 system. For $3100 cdn, its not too expensive and seems to require a big room to fill out - which I have. However, I have heard the Def Tech BP 2006 (with matching center and surrunds) and it sounds room filling and costs about the same - without haggling yet. However, the demo room was small. I am afraid that the 2006 will not fill my room. I don't mean sounding loud, but feeling the bass when tanks roll by in "Saving Private Ryan" - which I felt at the dealer's room.
Any thoughts on Axiom Epic 80 against Def Tech. Will it be better to get the BP 2002? Or the new 7001sc and matching center and surrounds. The cost for 7001 is really high and at that price is it worth it? For the money I could go ProAc, B&W Nautilus. Mind you, I got tired of 2 channel listening...I used to be a Quad esl63 owner with tubes. Don't have the time to listen 5 hours straight anymore. Would be using the system for home theater 80% of the time.
Any thoughts? Should I be looking at other brands? What brands?
