New to the Forum. I am looking for a nice upgrade to my current theater. Why?? I have no idea; just feel like it is time . Current setup is very good to my ears, so I would like something that is going to be a nice step up. We own a Bed and Breakfast, so I am very vain about the theater room, and want something that also looks great. I am running with Swan Divas 2.1’s for the front Left and Right, while a Swan Diva C3 is my center. Side and back, are Swan Diva 2.1’s, as well. I also have an older Box SVS PB2 Plus subwoofer. My Receiver is currently a Denon 3808. My Room Dimensions are 15 wide x 23 Long. Seating is about 14 feet from the front wall. The bottom 3 feet of the walls is covered with fabric, and about 1”inch of sound absorbing padding, behind the fabric.
Listing will be about 99.8% Home theater. We do put on some concert DVD’s, from time to time, but it is all most 100% TV/Movies. I do not care too much for 2 channel listing in this room. One big problem I do have living in the middle of nowhere; we do not have any dealers around these hills, so going out to listen to anything, is a very long trip.
Current thought pattern on the front 2. Purity for left and right = $3300.00 (from Amazon) with no external amp, or used Sources 1500.00 (Audiogon) with an Emotiva XPA2 (Power output: 250 watts RMS/ channel into 8 ohms, 500 watts RMS/ channel into 4 ohms and 1,000 watts RMS bridged.)700.00. I am not sure the Purity speakers at 3300.00 will sound that much better than the Source speakers at 2100.00?
Just to throw another option out, in the open, I am also thinking about a used set of B&W 802N’s. I have always loved them, and I think they look stunning.
So.. Those are my current thoughts; I would love to hear any feedback
Thanks,
