A few years ago i started really getting into my own home theater & 2ch system. My wife & i just moved into a house from previous apts and now have something, that with my budget, im proud of. Its definately still in the works but this is what i have as of now. I love the warmth that B&W brings to the table. Once i added the 685s in the back, movies took on a whole new dimension! 5 channel stereo sounds pretty sick too. We just painted the wall behind the equipment, not sure if i like it. Looks better in person than in pics but think i want to change color of pattern. Anyways... all comments are welcome. Dont worry you wont hurt my feelings!....
i promise your wife ,when she hears the B&W,s with a couple hundred watts of quality going to them she will be smiling!!but as we all know once you go to power amp,you will then hear the shortcoming,s of your pre,and then your source and cables and so on and on and on and on and on and on and on LOL you get the point,
add a bigger dedicated 2 channel amp or maybe a 5 channel in your case to the b&w,s,as you have not heard these open up yet,look on the virtual systems or ask the guys who own these speakers what mates up with these,but trust me ,you think your happy now,you will be floored by the next level,oh and enjoy
