Hi folks,
I discovered your fine forum a few days ago and have done much reading. I hope to get some input on a potential system I am investigating...
I plan on dumping my first entry level system. I have Axiom 60's, VP150 Center, Klipsch bookshelf for surrounds, HSU sub and a Yamaha 2400 AVR.
This system has served me well for HT for a couple of years. I am now ready to move on and I hope up. I am not happy with this set-up for music like DVD Concerts and Two-Channel. I listen to Coldplay, Eagles, Mellencamp, Fleetwood Mac etc.
My room is not big. It is about 14x16. I am thinking of the following set-up:
4x805S (for front and rear)
1 HTM4S Center
Velodyne or Revel sub.
Arcam's new separates. The separate Amp is 7x135.
Do you think this is a good match for my size room? I am a little worried about going to a bookshelf from the floorstander but I think the quality of sound will be so much greater with the B&W and a higher end sub, I think it will equal out.
Do you all have any experience with Arcam? The separates are new and most folks don't have them yet. I really like their AVR300. Would 7x135 be enough for this set-up?
edit: How is the HTM4S center?
I have listened to the 805S and the 803S for a short period of time. I will go back and do a much more intensive trial next weekend.
Any thoughts are appreciated and I am glad I found this forum.
Regards,
Geoff.
