Hi Folks,
First Post but I have lurked for a while. Didn't want to post questions until I was ready to finally purchase.
I have decided on 804S/HTM3S/805S for my stereo/ht set-up after a good bit of auditioning of some different brands. The center was critical in my decision and I think is sometimes lost in the auditioning process (I know this first hand)!
Anyway, the dealer carries Rotel, Mcintosh and Classe. I would kill for a Mcintosh set-up but this is not in the cards right now. Rotel did not quite do it for me but appears to be of high quality.
Having decided on the speakers I have looked around at some other shops and for what I was willing to spend I really just loved the Cary Audio Cinema 5 Amp (5 x 200) and Cary Audio Cinema 11 Pre.
Has anyone heard B&W with Cary Audio? After the HT is done and later next year I would like to add a stereo pre/pro with HT pass through and a dedicated CD player. I am drawn to Cary sonically.
Any words of wisdom from others is appreciated.
My only hesitation is going up one notch to 803S but I have read the threads here in the 804 verses 803S. There was not an 803S for me to audition but there is another Dealer 50 or so miles away and I will perhaps see if they have the 803S on the floor.
Sub will most likely be Rel.
Thanks to all and Happy Holidays.
