Feel like I've caved...

[azsyno]

Just put a deposit down on a complete 6 speaker set of DM 303's.

I built a new room downstairs and into it will go this system. Going to add a Marantz Receiver to the speakers, but compared to the 703's and Rotels sitting upstairs, I am concerned that I've fallen prey to the realities of my checkbook and will feel disappointed from the beginning.

The room is incredibly small... 9.5 X 13 ft, but still...

Convince me that this is going to be ok, please!?

Btw, I put a 42in Plasma in the room, but still...

Whaddya think?

Thanks!

:roll:

Whaddya think?

I think it is considerably easier to be happy with HT than 2 channel , in most cases. Maybe because the sounds are of shorter duration and the video aspect is distracting , on average. I'm not familiar with your speakers , but I've had good luck with Marantz stuff and I think you should be optimistic until/unless you feel let down after actually hearing it! Good luck! :T

azsyno, you have come a long way from a year ago, glad to see you still working with kit.

Why the concerns? Is it because you "think" you have a small room? The 303's should be a proportional fit. Other than say the FPM's or the mini's I can't imagine a better match size wise and nothing for the money. You already know that you are not entering into an optimal situation, but this should be at best a secondary concern. You already have a critical listening room for serious applications. Let this room be all about the fun of home cinema. Forget about benchmarks and make the best of what you have. :T
