WHAT?


Marantz is one of the most musical receivers on the market. Def Tec /B&W are also excellent for music. What are you talking about?


jlazarus- Both those systems are excellent for HT AND music. My only suggestion would be an SVS or Velodyne sub.


All and all, good choice - enjoy and welcome to the forum.

I think that the B&W 602's are much better than the 601's for the minor price increase. Better imaging and smoother midrange.


I'm not a fan of the LCR60 as it is paired with too many L+R in the B&W lineup so it it never perfectly matched (or I haven't heard it perfectly matched - maybe it is with the 601s).


If at all possible see if you can get another identical speaker for your center.

Oooooooooooo! I missed that. I wondered who could have possibly made that kind of statement. Sorry jlazarus, for the misunderstanding.
