Hi everyone.
I recently purchased my first AV system. I auditioned a few amps and the Marantz was the dark horse of the lot, I really never considered the Marantz as there was no mention of it in What Hi-Fi but I have to say I found it impressive.
I currently have the Boston Acoustics XS 5.1 speaker package linked up to the amp but I watch movies and listen to music in equal amounts. When I activate the Pure Direct mode on the amp it (obviously) makes the front 2 channels sound very weedy, as they are only 2 small satellites.
My question is what bookshelf speakers would go well with the Marantz 1601 and the Bostons? I have read this months feature in What Hi-Fi on budget speakers but I'm not too sure what will sound "bright" with my current equipment.
Many thanks
Deano
