hi all,
here is my first post so please take it easy on me.
have decided to give hubby his dream home theatre system
so far we have our pioneer 5060 plasma on order along with yamaha 2600 receiver (likely to hit australian soil late nov / early dec). subwoofer is a tannoy ts12
after doing much research it looks like we are going with a 5.1 setup with inceiling speakers at the rear (let me know if its a bad idea). can't see the pt of going 6.1 or 7.1 and room is about 5.5mt wide and will have sofa on one wall and plasma on opposite wall.
at the front, we want some very good quality bookshelfs (on stands) and have been looking at the dynaudio audience 52se, focus 140 or b&w 705 with their matching center speakers.
love the sound of all these speakers - funnily enough i thought the 52se had the best bass, the 140 the purest sound and the 705 the best all rounder, albeit very little bass by comparison.
which brings me the amp - i doubt it will have enough power to drive the 4 ohm dynas, although retailer tells me it will be fine but how will it go with the 705 set? we bought the 2600 for its versatility and near unlimited connectivity/upscaling but didn't spend much time thinking about the 130*7 power capabilities and what speakers we could drive with them.
anyone had any experience with the 705/2600 combo? dont want to spend the $$$ on the speakers if the amp cant handle the task.
would appreciate any assistance.
once we sort this out we need to pick our dvd/hd/cd combos
cheers,
julie
