Going to make this short n sweet, I don't have any electronics or speakers yet. I don't have the budget to go out and grab B&W 802's, HTM1D and say 805S rears/sides. I also don’t have the budget to get classe gear. So I have decided on getting the new rotel 15-series gear,
pre-amp/processor RSP-1570,
Amp, 5 X 250 RMB-1575,
Amp, 2 x 250 RMB-1572
So question is, should I go with the top in the 600 series, for instance,
B&W 683 mains
B&W HTM61 centers
B&W 685 sides/rear
And sub (looking at a velodyne SPL1500R)
Or
B&W 805S x 4 for fronts and rears
And sub (SPL1500R) for now
I know this route costs more, but in the end may be more versatile.
I would drop the other amp as i would only need the 5 channel, that would save a bit.
Also will this route be a good enough ht system, to get me by for a couple years?
then save up for a while to eventually get 802's for the fronts, get a center speaker, say HTM1D then put the 805S as rears and sides?
I'm thinking instead of getting one whole series then having to sell them to get a higher series that I would go with 805's for front and rear, forget the center channel for now and save up some money.
I basically want to start off with something decent that I can easily upgrade later, without having to sell allot of stuff, just use existing pieces for different areas. Keep in mind this room will be 80%ht/20%music. Room is 11.5wx21.25Lx8.6h.
Comments, suggestions welcome!
