    setting speakers to small or large?

    Question about settings without a sub. I have 2.5 way fronts and center which my Marantz set to large during auto setup. I have small 2 way book shelves for rears that the Marantz set to small.

    Front speakers, $500

    Check out B&W & Paradigm. B&W 601's - 450pr 602's - 600pr *recommended* Paradigm Monitor 3's - 479pr Monitor 5's - 579pr I would have bought the 602's if I didn't want floor standers (I got the 603's). I know they are a little more than your budget, but you can probably get a 10%...

    Receiver for Studio 40's?

    I listened to the Studio 20's and 40's paired with the Marantz 7500 before I decided on B&W's and they sounded great. I opted for B&W's because I wanted floor standing fronts and I couldn't justify the price of the studio floor standers. I ended up getting the 7500 and I am really happy with...

    B&W 603 S3 spikes/feet?

    Question for B&w 603 owners that have wood floors. My speakers only came with metal spikes, but I don't want to scratch/puncture my newly refinished oak floors. Is there something anyone uses that can screw in, in place of the spikes, or to cover them to protect the floors? Thanks.

    Denon or Marantz upgrade for B&W 600 S3 system?

    I looked at the Rotel specs, but I opted not to audition it because I wanted the built in 7.1 powered channels without have to add an external amp, plus it the Marantz was 300 cheaper and buying the whole package at once was already giving my wife (and me) sticker shock. So no buyer's remorse by...
