Hello all.
I am glad to have found this forum since I have been auditioning B&W's in anticipation of an upcoming move out of my apartment and into a home with a basement waiting to be turned into a dedicated HT/AV room.
I have reached a verdict as to the speakers that I will be using and they are as follows:
Fronts: N803 (just have to go with the Cherry color)
Rears: N805
Center: HTM1
I plan on using this set up for SACD/DVD-A/CD use about 50% of the time and HT the other 50%.
I have listened to many AMP/Pre pro setups and am having some trouble with decision making. The B&K Ref 50/200.7 (I will upgrade to 7 channels eventually) seems to be the frontrunner, but Rotel just keeps pulling in close. Considering the even distribution of HT and Audio use, clarity is key all around. I plan on using my DV-47A at first, but then upgrading the CD player to a dedicated one for all formats (Classe or Linn probably).
Any help would be great and certainly other suggestions are more than welcome. I have lots of time to research since we won't start the build for at least two months.
Thanks.
As the Greek philosopher Basha once said, a flute with no holes is not a flute, and a donut with no hole is a danish.
