Hi!
I'm looking to buy a good pair of bookshelf speakers and an amp with some solution for streaming - most likely an amp with built in streaming. I have a living room of about 30 sqm and want speakers for music, but I will also most likely use them for movies, since I'll put them on either side of the tv anyway. My budget for the total system is between 2500 and 3500 euros, but slightly more (or less) would be fine.
This has lead me toward the B&W 600 or 700 series of speakers. I think I would benefit from the larger 606 or 706 rather than 607 or 707, seen as though my room is relatively large, but: are the 706 worth the almost doubled price compared to the cheaper ones?
My local HiFi store has the B&W 606 s3 so I've listened to and liked them a lot, but I don't know how the more expensive counterpart would compare.
Amps I'm considering are Marantz model M1 and Bluesound powernode, of which I've only been able to listen to the last one. Is the extra power from the Marantz going to benefit these speakers?
Would love to hear any input from people who have either heard them or are just more knowledgeable in the Hi-Fi segment! Thanks in advance!
