Is anyone here using an SR8500 to drive B&W 700 series speakers. I'm going to be auditioning 600s and 700s this weekend based on stunning reviews and recommendations. I'd rather not disappoint myself and listen to the 700s if the 8500 won't be enough juice to make these sound good. The room will be 14x14 with 8' ceilings. If I'm in for a big disappointment when I get these home I'll just keep the 600s on my shortlist of speakers that I'm considering and drop the 700s altogether.
I'm looking for Floorstanders (703?) for LR and the smaller 705s for the surrounds. Center channel would, of course, be the HTM7. I have a Marantz SR8500 which is rated at 125x7.
I don't have the option of getting an additional amp to juice them and probably wouldn't have that option for quite some time. I'm already pushing the limits with the fiance by looking at speakers of this price. The one thing thats saving me is B&Ws incredibly good looks.
Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance.
