I finally found some speakers both I and the wife like;
- Proac Studio 130 and Proac Response D15 floorstanders
- AVI ADM 9.1
First question; would the Cambridge Audio 840A be a good match for the Proac's?
Second question; can AVI ADM's really replace a conventional AMP/Speaker combo?
My source will be an Mac Mini
Basically, I don't know what do to; go traditional and use a
DAC/840A/Proac combination or spend half the money and go for the AVI
ADM 9.1. I listen to all kind of music exept hard rock and hip hop (so
base in not that important). The room is pretty large (8 * 6 meters
with high ceilings). I love the ideas of the ADM's, but will it fill my
room with good HiFi music?
Thanks in advance for your input!
Now I will
take my cue from others and say that without hearing the CA and ProAc
combo, the AVIs will undoubtedly be better!
Seriously, I
personally am very impressed with the speakers and would certainly
recommend you audition them. If only these had been around a few years
ago I would have wished somebody could have advised me on them as I
could have saved a lot of time and money on getting a sound I love....
I also think they will be fine for that room size but I would budget for a sub.
(Apologies for how that has turned out, not sure what happened)
