Hi all — looking for advice on a new system for my place.
Quick background: I already own a Mission LX-4 + Marantz M1 at my parents’ house (that setup came from recommendations here),cant be more impressed, the whole system works really well for the usecase at their place. but now I’m putting together a system for myself and want fresh recommendations for the system.
On the amp side of things again, M1 marantz is on my radar i think it does everything but idk if am missing out on the rich warm sound a class a/b can provide or is it overrated? I was also looking at the stereo 70s since its sort of in the same budget, but it has only 75 watt per channel output against 100 watt per channel in m1, i was told that 25watt difference does not make a huge difference after some calculations there will only be a 1.25 decibel increase in the output volume between the two?
Can you tell me if this is right? Or is there something am missing? Could the 100watt make a noticeable difference?
I am going to stop myself before I go on a ramble, anyway for my use case are there any other towers I should be looking at in this price point? And what amps would you recommend?
I am not using the dirac in my current m1 system, but would like to try and see if it actually makes a difference? What is your opinion on this.
Should I go for a class a/b if yes which one?
Theres also the audiolab 6000 but that one only outputs 50watt per channel. So idk. Lets start a conversation on what is the best system that could be achieved in this price point since I think it would help a lot of people and me
Also one question if I do get lets say a marantz m1 can I somehow pair it with my other marantz m1 to try and create a surround sound experience? I know I am reaching here but bare with me. Anyway don’t constrain yourself with the option I told you, but I do feel like they are best option I got at this price point.

- Room: 12 ft × 25 ft, speakers + TV at one short end, main seating ~8–10 ft away (other end is dining).
- Use: ~50/50 music and movies/TV
- Speaker choice - I would like to get tower speakers because I would like a fuller sound and a better bass since I would like to watch a lot of movies as well.
- Will get connected to TV, Ps5 for gaming, and music streaming, and maybe in a bit I might get a turntable.
- Total budget: ₹1,20,000 (max) for the whole system.
- I could still get the lx4 and marantz m1 for 1,10,0000 at hifimart but I was thinking of exploring new systems maybe a class a/b amp like the stereo 70s.
