I'll try to keep this short without leaving anything out. First things first... The MC352 deal fell through so needless to say I am starting from scratch. I am looking for a 2 channel system in which I will temporarily preamp with a harmon kardon avr 7200. It's not the best way to go but I'd rather buy a couple good pieces for now than a complete system of lesser quality. I need POWER AND SPEAKERS...
I have done a ton of reading and listened to a half dozen speakers ranging from K3 to K9 and it's really gotten me nowhere. For example, rave reviews on speakers that I found simply average, keeping in mind there is not a huge selection of high end speakers here in Calgary. Nothing has really blown me away.
I figure my best bet is going used, do some tweaking,give it a chance and I can always switch things out without losing a bunch of money.
I believe any good amp with a good speaker match will satisfy most people. It's the "match" part that get's tricky.
How about a krell 200s (Approx. 10 years old} and a set of Wilson Watt/puppy 5's. The total would be around 10K CDN.
Thanks for all your responses so far in this thread. It's nice to get knowledgable input from someone who's not trying to make a sale.
