    Newbie would like your help

    Hello,

    I am interested in purchasing a new stereo system as I've never really had a truly decent system. I have been playing guitar for over 20 years so I have a more discerning ear than most.

    I tested the following speakers yesterday, unfortunately they did not have the receiver I may (or may not depending on the replies) purchase to drive the speakers.

    Speaker setup: Front - DM602 S3
    Center - LCR60 S3
    Rear - LM1

    I'd be using the system 60/40 music/tv.

    The receiver I am thinking about is the Yamaha RX-V2500, I'd be able to purchase this at @ $700. The salesman said that this receiver may be underpowered as he said the speakers are not really made for quote "Japanese" receivers.

    If this is not an appropriate receiver, can someone point me in another direction in the same price point?

    Technically, what should I be looking for in a receiver?

    Can anyone point me to a website that can explain the concept of crossover and other "audiophile" terminology.

    Thanks very much for any help!

    Tony

        Rotel Separates v. Lexicon Receiver??
        by PDP
        I stopped in at my local dealer over the weekend fully intending to buy a Rotel 1098/1095 combination.

        I was offered a deal on the Lexicon RV-8 for slightly more than I would need to pay for the Rotels (a substantial deal on the Lexicon). The dealer is recommending the Lexicon as superior...

        Need receiver for B&W CCM series
        by av neophite
        I've been researching many reviews and threads in order to pair a receiver to my B&W (3)CCM 817s and (2)CCM80's. I've listened to many brands in the dealer demo rooms, which I'll never be able to reproduce in my own home. So, I've broke it down to 3 units; HK AVR7300, Rotel RSX 1056, Yamaha RXV2500....

        by impala454
        I have a pretty hefty bandpass box with two 10"s that I'm currently using for my sub. It's a box mostly meant for car audio competitions but right now it's filling in for HT duty until I get something else built. It has two 4Ω drivers and I can wire them however I need to (they are arranged...
