Hi All,
So I finally got to listen to a bunch of speakers and amps at a a high end store. The system will be located in a large room -- 750 sq ft with 9 ft ceilings. Here's what I listened to:
speakers:
Dynaudio Excite X34 speakers -- $2800 -- my favorite speakers so far. super high clarity, great base, i felt that the musicians were right in front of me
I also listened to Totem Accustic Staff and BMW CM10. The Totems had a muffled sound to me and the BMW's were too bright.
Amp:
Musical Fidelity M5si -- $1999 -- sounded great but really outide my budget. at 150 watts per channel, will be more than enough for the large living room. Question: can I go with the Musical Fiedlity M3si at 95 watts per channel for a 750 sq foot room? I don't want an underpowered system.
CD player:
NAD C546BEE -- $499 -- I did not listen to any others but this sounded fine
The salesman was trying to push the Furman ELITE 15DMI at $558 for a surge protector and a noise reducer. Is this necessary?
I appreciate the advice on this forum.
