Hi all,
Indian ears i am not offended in the least!! We all have our opinions and its absolutely not a problem to hear what your friend feels about the Brystons. Maybe their Studio origin has something to do with this but now the ratio of studio VS home use is almost 30/70 with many more brystons being used in homes
Neo, today i prefer the B&W but maybe a decade ago i would have definately (and did) gone for the Dynaudio. In fact i tried the 1.4 before i bought the 805s but i guess my ears were so accustomed to the sound of the 804/704(old house/new apt) i felt i should stick to the B&W s. Frankly u wont go wrong with either. One to one and a half feet is Ok for these as they are heavily braced and not rear ported so your friend wont have a problem. Unless he craves for deep bass he should be satisfied.
I too dont like the Krell much. I liked the Primare integrated @ 1L as i thought it was a very musical amp.What u heard at Boomerang with the Morels was Gratin's personal pre/power combo and thats an overkill for any of the speakers we are talking about. (ML ref pre with a pair of 7BST)
Obviously i like the bryston sound(indian ears the house sound is not that dry/clinical as the NRB series anymore) but i would not recommend u opt for the 2 BSST + BP 6 combo( even that is 2.25L) but at least the 3BSST or best 4BSST but that doubles ur friends budget. I strongly suggest the Primare Pre 30/ A 30.2 (or its replacement) for about 1.75L. I preferred this to the older plinius integrated. Musical Fidelity A5 or 5.5 must be heard as many (esp in UK) feel this amp is a real cracker.
Regards
