Greetings,
I am about to pull the plug on a new AV Amp, and have settled on the Yamaha 3060 as it seems to give me the right balance of attack/muscle, connectivity, and future proofing. I am upgrading from an Onkyo 1008.
I have a dedicated HC room, approx 20' x 14' in size. I currently have XTX 99 series speakers across the front, and SVS rears, along with an SVS PC-Ultra sub, which isn't going anywhere.
So looking at a few deals out there, I can get the Focal Aria 900 combination along with the amp for about the same money as I can the Dali Opticon 6 5.0 setup. The Tannoys will come in the cheapest option of the 3, but it's about what should give the best HC sound for me. I play very very little music, so that isn't really a consideration.
I do like thrillers, and action/war movies and appreciate a fairly 'in your face' sound. Crisp dialogue works too, as does a really big soundstage for when music videos and the like are played. Dull and too neutral doesn't really blow my socks off, and if I'm spending this sort of money then that's what I'd like.
Any suggestions, recommendations, thoughts at all would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.......
