Hey, I just started the process of building up my system starting with the 684s. What a way to start! I can't wait to hook up a better amp. I currently run a classic Sony STR-6065 receiver which provides plenty of power, but not enough clarity. Can a decent integrated amp be had under $700? I have a good sized living room with a vaulted ceiling. The speakers are across from a couch and drapes, so echo isn't an issue but the room swallows the sound.

Should be able to find a used Rotel RB-1080 for right around that price that would make a pretty big difference. The big problem in clarity is the Sony Receiver itself... the components in the unit aren't as good as something you'd get with higher end stuff.
However, a nice amp is a good way to start the upgrade process.Digital Audio makes me Happy.

I am moving into a house next month and I finally get a bedroom to make my own "theater".
I have a 46" CRT Rear projection TV. (used as center until I can get a LCR600s3)
Two 603s3's as the Left and Right mains.
Two Paradigm Titans as the rears.

My sound room is 15' x 24' x 9'. I'm wondering if the 800 Diamonds would be too big for this room?? What room sizes do others have with the 800's? Thanks for any advice. -
I am evaluating future upgrade possibilities and I have the 802D's under consideration. I currently own the 803S's and they fit my living space well. However, I am concerned that the larger 802D's may not be suitable and may lock me into an 803D's only upgrade. That wouldn't be a bad thing but I...
