Just a few quick questions for the ML circle - I am looking to upgrade a mixed group of speakers to all ML. I currently have changed out the sides and rears to Encore and am now ready to change out the front and center. I currently am running a modest Yamaha 663 AVR and do not plan on adding an amp at this time. I also will be using the system for HT and not much for music. The question is: would moving to the Source with Matinee CC not make sense with this AVR unless I purchase an AMP? Or should I move to the highly discounted Preface for the sides? And if so, what center channel would you recommend to mantain a smooth sound stage? I have heard that the AFT design of the Preface would still work well with the Matinee. Or should I consider the Fresco? I am not confident the Encore would be as pleasing for a CC (compared to the Def Tech I have). I know there is a big difference in these designs, but with this AVR, and focused only HT, I am getting confused as to the correct choice for my needs. And, of course, there is the Motion option which is yet to hit the stores here in Baltimore. (I currently have a Def Tech CLR and a pair of vintage BIC formula IV mains.) Thanks - glad to be a part of this group.
