I am in the process of re-doing my HT system. I have a seperate Plinius/Martin Logan system for 2ch listening, so I am really focusing on movies.
I am pensioning off my old Denon AVR3300/Polk RM7500/JVC DVD gear and would like to step up a bit. I have started with the source and picked a Pioneer DV-AX10 and recently added a B&K AVR507 receiver. I wanted the ability to move to 7.1 at a later date without replacing the whole unit.
My dilema now is with speaker selection. Unfortunately I have the spousal approval challenge to overcome which prohibits me from tower fronts (in addition I have a "built in" which will only accomodate LCRs with a max height of 30"). I was advised to check out the M&K 150 system, which I did and was very impressed, unfortunately to get the total package was more than I had planned on - so I guess I am limiting myself to about $3000 for 5.1.
Does anybody have any further recommendations given my limitations above? Perhaps the smaller M&K 750THX or the Atlantc Technology 270, or a s/h B&W group (805 size).
Any time you guys can spend to help focus my listening efforts would be very much appreciated.
