Hi,
Need advice on choosing the right electronics (open to receivers or separates) to drive a system comprising B&W805s mains, 803s center and SCM as surrounds with Velodyne DD-10 as subwoofer.
1. Usage is HT 75% and Music 25%.
2. Room size is small - 20 ft x 25 ft.
3. Very aware that B&Ws are rather bright speakers and hence need to choose a "warmer" electronis to drive them. I like detailed sound but do not like either harsh highs or rolled off highs either.
4. In demo at dealers, 805s driven by high end electronics (Classe etc.) sounded great while driven by Integra receiver, sounded like crap.
5. My budget is about $3000 and I am looking at Used gear as well.
One of the option I am thinking of is Rotel 1068+RMB1075/RMB 1095. But would love to get the opinion by experienced folks here who have cycled through lots of these gear and know a lot more.
