Avr have come along way .dennon avr 1 is great sounds good as i have 1 150 wpc.no I did not go with trinov ? Spelling and choose to go with marantz 16 channel av 10 with amp 10 class d tuned by marantz. Then put 7 channel mcintosh amp on that with amp 10 in 400 wpc for the rest. Alot of versatility with no amp in main avr and can update separate. It sounds fantastic especially with pink floyd in surround. Put soma fossi amps on your anymore and get some tektons.
Decent speakers for mid-level AVR
Greetings,
First time poster here. I am looking to upgrade my home theater setup with a better set of speakers. Been doing a lot of research, worried if the speakers i am looking at are going to be able to be driven with my AVR
I have an Onkyo tx-rz50 that pushes 120 watts into two channels. i omly have mains, a center channel and small surrounds. Well, i do have this massive folded horn sub but it has its own amp.
Been looking used in my area. Listned to a set of paradigm premier 85f. Nice, but a little bright for my liking. There is a local with a set of Focal aria 948. I hear gppd things about them, but also hear they are power hungry.
I dont really "rock out" much anymore, typical classic rock and 90s alternative rock se sensabilities. and home theater of course.
Any thoughts? trying to stay under $4k for a pair. i know that is pretty low end for auudiophile, but what can i say... i own 7 motorcycles and only one pair of speakers.
thank you!

@pdxmonkeyboy Good luck with your audition of the 948's. I really am a fan of the Focal sound and paid $2,400 for my 926's (gently used of course) so $1,600 for the 948's from my perspective is a steal. Give us a full report afterwards including how they might fit in with your amp you purchased. |
