Loose...I just came through the other end of the tunnel you're going into. Sold my Lexicon for a Sonic Frontier Line 1, and sold my 4 marantz mono blocks in a biamp config for Anthem Amp 2 and now my CC and rear speakers are sitting in a box. I couldn't be happier. I'm still impressed by my gear with dvds. My system really has a good soundstage and so I still get 'surround' effects. Plan on buying a nice reciever some day and use the HT pass through on the line 1. Then I'll have more of what I like, 100% music and movies for fun.
am I nuts?
here's my story. I have NHT speakers all the way around in a HT setup. 2.5i's for the main, vs2.4 for centre, 1.3A's for rears. Currently, a nakamichi av10 is powering everything. It's fine for HT, but for two channel audio, it sucks. I want to get a good quality integrated amp to improve upon the sound of my system BUT I cannot afford to buy one outright. I don't want to give up home theatre either. So, i'm thinking of selling the 2.5i's and using the 1.3A's as mains (my room is fairly small and to be honest, my 2.5i's are a bit much for the room). With the money I would get for the 2.5i's, I would purchase an inexpensive pair of speakers for the rear and apply the balance as a deposit on a better quality integrated to run the 1.3's (which, again, would be used as the mains).
Am I nuts?
anyone else with any suggestions?
