Hey guys, long time lurker first time poster.
I was hoping to get some insight on a few products I have picked out for my home theater/listening room. I really enjoy stereo listening but would like to have the ability to run at least a 5.1 surround system for movie night. I do have a turntable as well as a reel player that I'll need to incorporate. Here is my plan so far
Pre-amp: Marantz AV7702 ($999.00) Thoughts; I don't need all the Dolby Atmos or other spiffy stuff but If I ever go that route it would be a bit future proof.
Power Amp: Marantz MM7055 ($1199.00) 5 channel power, great for theater but not sure how it compares for "Stereo" "audiophile music listening.
Speakers: Monitor Audio Silver Series 8 Tower speakers ($2,000)
Subwoofer; Silver series? Would like recommendations
-I have considered picking up all Silver Series speakers to complete the 5.1 system but I'm not sure if it is overkill or not. When I auditioned the Silver 8's it was exactly what I was looking for as far as a stereo set up goes. They had great imaging and the nice warm mid's compared to the KEF Q's.
So any thoughts would be appreciated, I'd like to stay under the $6k budget if possible. I'd rather like to focus on the stereo setup at first. The extra speakers for the surround sound can come later. My room size is 24 x 16 x 10 if it helps.
Thanks!
