Hello all-
I found this forum, and it seems like a great resource. My wife and I are in the process of renovating an apt, and there is so room in the budget for some new speakers. I had been considering some B&W's, thinking that the ML's would be to 'large' for my wife. Well, she likes the way they look, and loves the sound, so I'm trying to put together a ML system.
It will be used 50/50 for music/ht. For electronics, I use an HK Signature 2.0 Pre-amp, with a Carver 705 thx amp (125x5). I would rather not buy an entire new system, so I plan on keeping both of those... at least for a bit.
I was thinking of a pair of Clarities for the front, along with the Passages for the rear (in-wall). Not sure about what decent options there are for a center channel though. Have people had luck mixing traditional tweeters with the stats? If so, any recomendations...? I was also trying to find a pair of Aeon i's, but I would probably have to buy those unheard, cant find any locally.
I'm trying not to turn this into an 'upgrade' everything process, and I see the panels drop down to <2 ohms at 20k, is 125x5 going to be enough? I've never seen my amp clip, not exactly sure what to expect.
Thanks, and sorry for the vague questions. It's late, and I'm suffering from information overload.
