I am a 17 year old high school student working on a limited budget trying to get the best sound for the best money. I have the luxury of a dedicated room but it is on the small side (10x14 with the speakers on the short wall). Room treatments are ultra-low budget with rugs on the front and back wall that got rid of some nasty flutter reflections. I am always experimenting with new speaker placements so any suggestions would be appreciated. This system sounds great and I will probably be stuck with it till a few years after I get out of college so any upgrades would have to be made sooner rather than later. The system sounds great but I am always looking for that extra little edge. Ha I guess we all are. Happy Listening!!
I'm with Decapg - Great speakers, especially for the money. Personally maybe I'm more of a Nad/Paradigm kind of guy, but I would put your system up against almost any on 'gon, in a pound for pound sense. Denon is a great choice with the Rotel.
I had a few of these same components. A cheap Jolida or Audio Experience tube pre-amp ($200-650. used) would really bring things to life. I was surprised how much better things sounded even though they were cheaper. I would also recommend an Acoustic Research or Monster power conditioner ($40-90.) which really does deepen and focus things. You could also pick up a couple of cheap Kimber Hero interconnects ($60.) or Harmonic Tech's used ($80-200.) Same goes for speaker cables. River cable makes good regular cables as well but I would stay away from their flat cables; they just don't work as well. But their single 8.5 awg's are really good at $120.
