I am considering (maybe dreaming) upgrading my current B&W 804S 2 channel system with a Denon 3805 125 watt AV Receiver, Denon DCM 380 CD player and a B&W ASW CM subwoofer. My room is quite large and extends 5 feet behind my listening area and has 18 foot high ceilings. I know it has been discussed before, but right now acoustic treatments are not an option in this room.
I am looking for opinions on this specific system from my dealer. If I buy the package deal together of the 802DI, Cambridge Azur 804W power amp, 840E pre amp, and Cambridge Audio Azur 840C CD Player I hope to keep the after tax price down to around $19,000 to $20,000 Canadian.
I know these are not high end electronics like Classe and Macintosh but I am dealing with a budget and would like to get the most bang for my buck with the improved 802 DI speakers and the 200 watt power amps. Any thoughts on this upgrade? Any better way to go in regards for the money spent? I also want to add that when I tested my 804S speakers at the dealer a few years ago I heard them with a $3,000 amp and a $6,000 amp and I could not hear any difference at all between the 2.....
My system sounds pretty sweet right now but I am wondering how much improvement in sound I should expect?
