Hi there,
I'm quite happy with my current setup, which is composed of -
- Front - Clarities powered by Harman Kardon Signature 1.5 (200 watts per channel)
- Center & Surround - Cinema i & Frescoes powered by Harman Kardon Signature 1.3 (150 watts per channel)
- Sub - Grotto, powered by Grotto!
My room is about 290 sq ft large.
I enjoy quite much the homogeneity of the system, where all components are matching with each other. My only reservation would concern the sweet spot, which is really narrow...
I come now to the point... I have the possibility to get Summits at an interesting price - though it still represents quite a substantial investment for my budget - which could then replace the Clarities on the front scene...
And this is a dilemma. On one hand, this is a unique opportunity. On the other hand, I'm very much afraid that the harmony of my setup might be affected, in several ways -
- will the HKS 1.5 be enough to drive such speakers?
- will it be consistent - or if you prefer balanced - with the other speakers, when I listen to SACDs or watch movies?
- is my room big enough to accomodate Summits? I might have to position them in the middle of the room is I want to get enough space with the rear wall...
What do you think? Should I seize this opportunity... or just continue with what I have?
Thanks in advance for your advice...
