Hi all,
I have a Marantz NR1602 A/V receiver - bought essentially due to it's slimline profile. It's a 50w/ch amp and I need to buy speakers for it - preferably a 5.1 setup (or maybe 2 channel setup now - to be upgraded later). Usage would be 70% music and 30% movies. I am not too keen on buying a HT package speakers (the small satellite ones) and am looking for a decent speaker setup.
I had been considering Wharfedales (9.1s or 9.5s) as the fronts, SW150 as sub, and 9.CC as center channel. But since the receiver outputs only 50w/ch, are those a reasonable option, and if so any recommendations? How about Diamond 10s? Any other suggestions.
And, I understand the end-of-the-day I need to listen and find out what I like. So, I am just looking to build a reasonable consideration set of what to try, before I venture out to the stores.
I am in Delhi area. Would appreciate a reference to stores and an idea of reasonable prices as well.
(anyone else running the NR1602 receiver?)
Cheers.
