can Denon 1910 handle with B&W 684 as front speakers

[admin_exported]

Hi all,

I am completly new in this stuff and I need help on choosing the front speakers. I have finally decided to complete my home cinema (already have PS3 and 50' plasma panasonic TV) with 5.1 surround. My dealer offered Denon 1910 with B&W set (685 front, 686 rare, ASW610 sub and HTM62 center. However I wanted to go with 684 as front speakers for which the dealer said that then I'll have to upgrade the receiver too (for which unfortunatly I dont have the budget 🙁(( ). So, my question is: can the 1910 handle the 684 home theatre (http://www.bowers-wilkins.co.uk/display.aspx?terid=2355&infid=2354) , or i should stick with the 685 as front. My viewing room is btw 4x4 m but is openly connected with another room with the same size.

I would appreciate your help on my dilema.

Thanks

What aspect of the 685s sound are you unhappy with Dan?

Honestly, its not that I am unhappy with the 685s, just wanted little more power in front. And maybe aesthetically because the 684s are floor standers. Rather then that, no real issue with the 685s.

I cannot fathom out any problem, the B&Ws are of above average sensitivity and the 1910 would cruise with the attack and agility it is already so renowned for. Did the dealer give any reasons?

Dan, the 1910 would be more than adequate for the 684s.
