    Suggestions?

    Since I am forst and foremost a B & W person, I hope they dont mind me asking this in this club. Although I can't afford the high end lines of B & W, I will only buy B & W. I currently own a very minimalist setup consisting of LM1's as my front with a ASW 300 sub.
    I am looking to upgrade to something like the 602 S3 as my mains in the future and moving the LM1's to the rear. I do this slowly due to budget constraints. Anyway, my question is about what to run these with. I currently own a simple Sony HT Receiver. I hear a lot about Rotel in this club and am curious how much difference does it really make?
    Music is my first love and takes priority over HT, but I do enjoy a good movie in suround. I've been watching eBay for Rotel stuff, but I don't know if a 12 year old Rotel CD player would still be an improvement over a general dvd/cd player that is only 1 year old since technology tends to trickle down to cheaper things over the years. Again, my budget is limited, but I would like to make purchases as investments. Thats the only way to control the WAF. Sorry about the long post. THanks in advance for your help.

    The DM602 S3 are absolutely great and I believe they are indeed the sweetspot of the 600 serie. I've owned a pair in the past and can still highly recommend these speakers!

    As for the reciever part: I'd start with, for instance a Marantz (5400). I believe it forms a good match with the B&W speakers for a reasonable price.

    Good luck! :T

      Folks, my patience is wearing thin on some of the clubs.

      For a while, Buzz Goddard kept things interesting in Club Tag McClaren. But I haven't seen Buzz in a long time, and not even sure he's still with Tag. Club Tag is effectively dead.

      Club BK, has almost died, and it's...

      Ok, I've hit the wall over Club Rotel!
      by Lex
      Guys, Club Rotel is only PART of HTGuide. Some of you seem to think allHTG is about is Club Rotel. It happens again and again and again. Non related to Rotel topics being posted in Rotel. The fact is, we need you posting in the other areas.

      Let me re-iterate:

      Since there will soon be so many clubs that no one will know what to do with all of them, I have an idea for a super club composed of all the other clubs. We will encourage club jackets and rumbles between competing clubs/factions. You have to belong to one of the other clubs, or more than one, but...

      Yamaha Club speaker copies?
      by SQconstable
      A friend and I are looking at bidding on building a sound system for a church. There are things we'd like to do in order to save money. One of them is the obvious: building the speakers instead of purchasing them pre-built.

      Here's one we were looking at: http://www.guitarcenter.co...
