In search for 5.1 system i took auditions for following systems
1. Yamaha -667 with Yamaha speakers package . 90 K
was decenet but no seperation, good bass but that is it.
2. Onkyo 608 with ELAC speakers and ELAC surrounds . 1.3 K
Could'nt tolerate , just got up and decided to walk away.
3. Denon 1611 with Polk TSI 300 / 400 - Dont remember the package cost
Was good but did'nt had the wow factor
4. Denon 1911 wirh Polk RTI A7 with Polk 660 SW and PolK surrounds and center - 1.6 Quoted
WOW factor, lots of seperation , good clear vocals and good surrounds also. I liked it.
5. Marantz 5005 with MA BR6 and BR center with 660 SW - Still to get a quote
Separation was not good but vocals were excellent. Music was also good.
Buddies please suggest a good combo for my setup
Movies 80 % , music 20%
Room size 20 * 10
Buget 1.5 Lacks
Source -> Xtreamer MK1 ( Already have)
Display -> LG PK 550 ( Already have)
Q1. I am thinking about getting RTI 9, will denon 1911 drive them or should i take the Marantz 5005 , pre out and then later a external amp route ?
Q2. Has any one heard pairing of Marantz with RTI' any comments, I am not able to demo this combination.
Q3. Have heard a lot of things about Paradigm Monitor 7 and 9 with marantz. Is that combo also good for movies.
