I can only make about one purchase per year so this will be about a 4-5 year plan.
Here is a list of my current audio set up.
Denon 5900 universal player
Denon 3805 used as a pre/pro
Acurus 125x5 amp
B&W CDM7SE front
Definitive Tech 2500 center
B&W CDM1SE rear
Definitive tech 15tl sub
My wish list is:
1- Anthem D1 or AVM30 or Integra RDC-7.1
2 - B&W 804S or 803S for fronts
3 - Add B&W DS8S side surrounds for an up grade from 5.1 to 7.1 I will have to use the amp in the Denon to drive this if it's my first move.
4 - Better amplification although with my current set up it seems more than sufficient.
5 - Better sub woofer. My current one works for music (although not as detailed as I would like) however under a small number of movie soundtracks it cuffs when trying to out put low frequency at loud levels. An example would be the Haunting DVD
I thought I would mention I don't have a dedicated home theater room and my listening room is an open great room. 24'x29' (speakers are set up in a 15' x 24') space with slanted ceiling. Windows are covered with opaque foil lined cell blinds. They seem to help the sound when they are closed. I assume it's far from ideal however I'm not at all disappointed with the sound. It's alive but not too alive and my worst problem that I can identify would be a base peak at a certain frequency that I have forgotten but this cannot be flattened with my current electronics. I'm also concerned about buying one peice of equipment that maybe overkill as a mate with the rest of my equipment. Thanks for your thoughts and opinions.
