Hello, I hope I don't sound repetitive with this topic, but it's about that time again. A couple months ago I was looking to upgrade from 601s to either 604 or 705, but that got delayed. Well, my wife is going to go out big on me in 3 weeks since it's my last real birthday, so she has about $2200 for my gift.
So it's either the 704s or 805s. I have listened to both speakers, and like both, but just want some opinions. I have a Marantz SR6400. I know it might not be enough to drive either speaker to it's it's optimal performance, but I plan on buying a Marantz MM9000 amp this late summer. Either way, the fact is I don't have a dedicated amp yet. I have listened to the 704s with just the 7400 and it sounded great. I've listened to the 805 with Rotel separates, but never with an AV receiver.
My wife prefer towers, and even though the 704 sounds great to me, I know I would prefer to the 805 sound. I would not be adding any other speakers (center or sub) for a while, so it's just 704 vs 805. We listened to... well, probably more different ranges of music than anyone we know. So what would you guys do?
By the way, 50% music, 50% movies.
