Considering these 3 going into the Anthem 525 amplifier. Thoughts/experience head to head?
- I live in a loft (old converted warehouse building) with the main area 11' ceilings, 30'x35' living space. The living area is of course more intimate, but the sound waves don't know that.
- I live in NYC, so space and neighbors are a thing
- Current 5.2 setup:
- Mirage OMD-15 fronts (can be bi-amped or bi-wired...I'd kinda like to bi-amp them)
- Matching OMD-C1 center
- I gave up the matching Mirage surrounds for in-ceiling with a higher WAF, Polk Audio RC80i
- Twin SVS SB-1000 Pro subs (I gave up my Epik Legend for a higher WAF)
- Marantz 8200 AV receiver
- Marantz CD (forget the model)
- I also have a mid-grade turntable and have been getting some vinyl
- Sony 77-in A80J TV (I don't use the built-in sound)
- Uses:
- Family is mostly home theater and TV shows
- I'm a much more critical home theater user
- I also listen extensively to music, as close to HD/Lossless/Original as possible, but of course I often just stream like the rest of us)
- I do want some modern bells and whistles such as the Apple TV remote turning it on and off, streaming easily, etc.
- I'd like a bit of an upgrade path I think, but an 11 channel ATMOS is unlikely in this apartment
