I am busy constructing a sound room / theatre. ( 6.5m x 4.5m )
I was going to purchase B&W 603's etc and decent components do go with it. Last week-end at a friends house which I have not been to in a year, I noticed that he has B&W 803 speakers. I was obviously full of admiration. These type of speakers was never in my budget (still is not).
Then he told me he is upgrading to the new 802D speakers and to cut a long story short I ended up taking over his 1 year old pair of 803 for half price.
Now, with that I am forced to buy matching HTM3 (old HTM1) for centre. As you can imagine, I have now blown close to my hole budget.
I do realise and this is confirmed from reading the forums that you do need a decent receiver/amp to drive the 803 \ HTM speakers. Mostly you guys talk about stuff that is either way over my budget or that might not be available where I come from.
My question: Will a decent receiver like Pioneer AX5ai (10i) or the Denon 3805 or the Marantz SR 8500 or equivalent Arcam be sufficient to drive the speakers? (or am I in big trouble)
Thank you
