RSX 1056 - recommended BW speakers?

[Bob_Ross]

HI , I was wondering what people would recommend for a home theatre/ hifi setup for use with the RSX-1056
I like the 704.705. and HTM7 but my room isn't very big and will the reciever be able to output enough power?
My other option would be using LCR 600, two 601 for the rears and some 603s for the front
here's my room configuration:


any ideas?

thanks!

Welcome Bob

That's a nice little picture but I think it could use a happy little tree in the corner :LOL: (Sorry I couldn't resist )

If you've got the funds stick with the 7 series. You could probably get away with all 705's or four 705's and the HTM7. Sticking with the smaller speakers will be easier for the 1056 to drive anyways and the size of the room doesn't require bigger speakers. The 1056 will be fine for the 705's and would still be adequate-good with the 704's. Then you just need a good sub (not from B&W) to fill in the bottom. For good B&M subs try Velodyne or Paradigm or the higher line JBL's. For good internet only subs try HSU or SVS. After that you can add a nice 2-channel amp and 703's as mains and move your 705's rearward for 7.1! :P

P.S. My crystal ball show's this thread being moved to a more appropriate section of the guide....

Bob:

I have listened to the various 600 series speakers for years and recently upgraded to close-out CDM series speakers with 7's in front and 1's in rear. If you can afford it, go for the new 700 series as the sound is far superior to the 600's. I previously used a 1055 and it should be adequate to run four 705's. My new 1075-1098 combo definitely takes far less effort to power the B&W's. I do not know what you are using for a receiver now, but I suspect that the Rotel will sound better.
