Hi all, new to this GREAT forum. Been enjoying reading Amir's reviews, it is helpful and insightful. I'm looking for some professional advice.
Background:
1.Room size: around 5m(W) * 6m(L) * 2.6m(H).
2.Currently use shield as streaming device.
3. In New York.
Requirements:
1. 60% for movies and 40% for music.
2. Not so particular about the small difference of audio, I think I can not differentiate it.So high end product maybe not suitable for me at this stage, I am looking for some practical or value for money solution.
3. Not intent to spent time in debug and not wish to upgrade equipments frequently. Not good at it. I wish to focus on music itself.
4. Will build the system step by step. From 2.0 to 7.2 max.
5. Budget for Processor and amplifier, MSPR price around 3k. Maybe buy refurbished and final price ard 2k.
Questions:
1.Should I go with one single AVR such as Marantz Cenima 50 or processor + amplifier solution? Someone recommend emotive xc1+A2+5 channel amplifier, cost ard 2k.
2.Or any other better options, such as Denon 3800 + 2 channel amplifier for the left and right speaker?
Speakers considering, will change if have better solutions,I don’t have brand preference. Budget maybe 4K for speakers. Can consider refurnished one.
KEF 950
KEF 650
SVS PB2000
Another question, for this kind of setup, I can setup with the technical support from the brand, no need to engage local Audio dealer to help me? I understand testing and installation is important for the final effect, but don’t know how to choose the right dealer, any advice for the setup part, or I just try to connect myself for the start?
Thanks.
