hi guys , as the thread says I am probably going to purhase that setup ... what do you think about the match? will it sound good in the overall? oh, and I can connect the sub to the marantz receiver? thanks

hey , and if I use an Harman Kardon HK 970 as a receiver or maybe an AVR-132?which would it be better? tell me what you think guys, cya!;)

anyone? at least I would like to know if bowers and wilkins match with the harman kardon . and also what is the difference between the HK 970 and the AVR-132 ? with the hk 970 I can only push in 2 speakers , uh(and the subwoofer?I haven't seen a subwoofer exit in the 970!)?meanwhile with the avr 132 I can plug in more speakers, but I'll have less power. are these the differences? please, let me know , I am a complete noob in receiver etc...thanks !

Any Receiver should easily drive your speakers. I am using old yamaha for my 685's and they sound great especially with a sub. I use SVS PB-10 for a subwoofer

yes? and the sub is good in your opinion? thx

yes? and the sub is good in your opinion? thx Yes the sub is awesome I prefer the 685 svs combo better than the 683 and CM7 towers that B&W sells with out a sub.

My office computer system consists of DAC > t-amp > b&W 600v3 and svs sb12 sub.
The t-amp only puts out 4 watts, but has always been enough for my office setup.

If you want to do a 2.1 system you either want a receiver that has preamp outputs,
or a sub that accepts speaker level input. There are a couple of 2.1 recievers that have
a dedicated sub out (outlaw comes to mind, but I think there are others). If the receiver you purchase has either preamp outputs, or subwoofer output, most subs will work - otherwise make sure you sub excepts speaker level inputs (which is what I use since the t-amp is a simple cheap device)

I don't see preamp or subout on the marantz. I'm not going to check the others, you can do that yourself. I did a lookup on elemental designs PM4001 sub and found nothing - does it have speaker level inputs?

For the record, I prefer my living room system with b&w 703 speakers, but the office system is not bad at all :)
