Hi Everyone!
I really need your advice on speakers. The story is as follows: I know that in about 10 years from now I'll probably buy a really great set-up (eg: B&W 802 with Classe Amp), but at the moment will have to wait with that kind of expense. So what I want now is to get myself a great Home Cinema setup that will also sound great.
I already have an Onkyo 875, and now I'm considering speakers. I would like them to sound amazing for film, but would also like the fronts to sound as best as I can achieve with an onkyo for music.
I've listened to the B&W 804s which were around £2700, and they sounded great (haven't heard them on the onkyo yet), so the question is: will the onkyo do the 804s and justice? Or are they totally out of the league?
Another question is, will the Martin Logan Purity, which is Active, sound better for music on the onkyo than the 804s? The reason I'm asking is because perhaps the amps on the Purity do a better job on the MLs and therefore I can save around £700.
Lastly, given a budget of £2-3000 to spend on front speakers, which would you recommend that would do the job best for HI-FI?
Thanks everyone! 🙂
