Hi,
How do I audition a system with components from multiple dealers?
Let me explain my situation. Yesterday, I was out auditioning few speakers as well as A/V receivers. I am more interested in music, but have to make do with a single system which will deal with movies also. Hence I am looking for a musical a/v receiver with a set of good stereo speakers. I plan to expand the speakers later.
In speakers, I auditioned the Wharfedale diamond 9.1, Quad 11L and Mordaunt Short Avant 902i. I liked the Quad 11L best. All these auditions were done with stereo amplifiers to judge the speakers better.
In receivers, I have been auditioning for a while. I liked the Marantz and the CA receivers. But, I have almost finalized on the CA 540R V3 receiver.
So my questions to experienced people:
(1) Can I audition the CA 540R with Quad 11L before buying anyone of them?
(2) If I have to buy one of them, which would you suggest I buy first?
(3) Does anyone have experience with mating the above pair in particular or Quad speakers and CA amplifiers in general?
Any feedback or help is appreciated.
Regards,
Prasad Redkar.
