Been following the discussions with interest and hope someone here can give me some advice. Sorry for the long post!
Just bought a 50" Panny panel and now need to upgrade my stereo set-up for 5.0 or 5.1.
I have CDM1NTs driven by a Primare 30.1 amp. A great HiFi which I would recommend to anyone who doesn't play 90% dance music.
Initially I thought I would buy a separate HT set-up - a set of KEF 5005's and drive them with a Denon 2805. But I am concerned that this won't have enough power to fill the room (6m x 12m - but HT set-up only in one half of the room).
So now, having read some of the threads here, I though I would be better buying some larger front speakers and a matching centre and moving the CDM1NT's round for rears.
As I already have the 1NT's I thought it best to stick to B&W and was thinking the following:
1. 703's plus center - 1NT's for rears
2. 703's plus centre plus sub - 1NT's for rears. Do I need the sub with 703's?
3. 704's plus centre plus sub
4. 1NT's plus centre plus DM600's for rears plus sub
I will try to find somewhere to listen to the various speakers.
Appreciate any views on these options before I start.
Do any of you have a similar set-up?
Any better alternatives to the B&W's (given I already have the CDM's)?
Thanks for your help.
Cheers,
Neil
