8O
Ok.... now that you re read that a few times and have had time to regain your composure...
Yea, thats right, I am running my B&W setup off a $1000 Yamaha receiver.... :lol:
N802 speakers, HTM1, and N SCM1's all being powered by a wonderful 120 watts of my HTR-5990.
Why might you ask? Well I am totally redoing my setup and moving a few things around in the room, trying to maximize my space. I figured this rel sub I have (just sold, soon to have ASW 855) sure gives a kick, I wonder how the speakers would sound off the reciever (sin sin, I know!) Well after moving everything in the room around and plugging it all in I gave it a first listen.
Wow.... not half bad! (hate me, its ok) I was quite impressed. So I thought huh, that sub sure is helping, then I looked over and realized I didnt plug in the sub when I moved it. h:
I can say I at even loud volumes I have zero fear of doing damage to these speakers. (yes with the Brystons I could turn them up to just about as far as you wanted on the dial and they would continue to sing, louder and louder, and I wouldnt dare do that with this receiver) However this thing powers these as loud as anyone would ever need in a small room like mine.
So this seriously got me thinking... (the moral of this whole damn post) I am quite content with this sound. (sure I have like 12,000$ worth of speakers running off a receiver purchased from Best Buy.... 8O But honostly, it puts on a damn good show! Yes I noticed I have to turn up the volume knob a bit more to get the same volume as before, and sure I can tell the bit of lacking in the speakers on the bottom end and a bit dryer up top (I believe a welcomed change there.... less fatigue for lack of a better word)
Maybe this reciever will hold me over for a few months, I will sell the Bryston 7b monos and aragon 4004. I honostly dont see them going back into the system.
I see the light at the end of the tunnel.....
and it points to just pick up a used Krell or Classe pre-pro w/5-7ch amp or even an integrated and enjoy simplicity.....
(flame away)
