Hi everybody, this is my first post, although Ive been a long time reader of this website.
I would like some advise on some equipment for my dedicated home theatre room. (House in the process of being built).
The room is of small size. 4.3m wide by 3.8m deep by 3m high. (or 14.2ft wide by 12.deep by 9.8ft high.). My intention is for 2 B&W 685's, 2 B&W 686's, with ASW608 woofer & HTM62 centre. I intend to drive these off a Yamaha RXV3800.
I've got two questions -
1. Is the 685 & 686 combo with sub too small ? OR should I go 684 + 685 or 684+686 ?
2. And is the RXV3800 too much amp for the setup? Should I rather go for the 1800? (And maybe use the extra cash on a set of 705's instead of the 685's ?)
This will mainly be used for home theatre, although it will be used for music a lot too. My type of music is a lot of electronica, a little bit of rock, a another little bit of jazz & plenty female vocals.
I am not specifically set on the B&W's, its just that Ive heard them and my old man had a set before and they do sound good. So any suggestions on other brands will be good too.
Budget wise, well from the setup above you get an idea of my budget.
Any advice / enlightment would be appreciated.
(Note this system will supplement a full HD setup)
Thank you in advance.
