Ok. Got to reply to this finally. Busy with work. The Denon is an AVR 2311 CI. I think what I am looking for is something more simplistic, and more oomph. Probably does start with the speakers. I have listened to the BW 800d3 and it was impressive. But not that much more impressive than some...

Hello, First post and a long time lurker. I've been given the "Go-ahead dear" from my wife to upgrade our current set up which has been the same for about 15 years. I've got an older set of Klipsch reference series speakers that I bought as a set from a retailer here in Minneapolis, and have...

Thanks for all the input, and to be clear, I am not offended at all by any (and all) suggestions. Im here so I can get skilled in this area and really buy what my home work has pointed me to, and what my ears confirm. There are so many variables to this process, and as I get feedback here, I...

I agree to both your posts. I am a bit wary, and trying to check emotion at the door while going through this process. (Read - the Magnolia guy only recommends McIntosh and 800 Series BW's) I think what I was really after was the difference each speaker manufacturer imparts on the sound, or...

I can answer YES to the setups being level matched, but I had to shoot an email to the sales guy for the second question. Im learning!!! He did shoot back to say YES they were both in direct mode. So, at least I can have a "whew" to that. Otherwise, Id have to go give it another whirl. Got...

So, I took the advice from here, and grab my reference music, and went to a few spots and listened to a few things. Please note, this room was super wide open, and probably not the best listening environment, and the sales person definitely went out of his way to mention that, and that most of...

I play electric, and yep, totally understand how one amp sounds this way with that guitar, but that guitar through another amp is another story....and don't get me started on pedals!!! Any good list as to amps that don't color anything at all from a home standpoint? Im definitely leaning right...

Im going to go listen to a bunch of stuff today.... The showroom has Paradigm, KEF, Sonance, SVS and B&W on display. Going to look at both Bookshelf sized and some smaller floor standing designs. As much as these Phils look awesome, I have learned a few things from past purchases I have done...

From what I gathered from him, it was both: from what he has read, but also had a chance at a west coast trip, to hear some Of the offerings that a friend has. I am just glad to get a lot of good opinions being thrown at me.

Obviously it will be extremely difficult for me to find these to listen to them, but has anyone listened to both? From the excellent help in another post, I have definitely set my sights on these (have even emailed the manufacturer....waiting for reply). I think they offer a very compelling...

Ha! I don't think I have enough space for an 802. I was looking more at the 805. The Philharmonic Slims might be as big as I can go. Those do look, and the reviews are, very excellent.

Thanks for all the great input. Those Philharmonic Slims look awesome and the price point is solid. Especially coming from those new B&Ws and I like supporting the small business owner. Now to find some rears and a center. I'll probably go with one (maybe two) SVS subs to round things out. I...

My TV is the Samsung ku6300. Sorry. I always say plasma for any flat screen it seems. (Am I showing my age) it's Led. My current speakers: all klipsch Fronts: Rf15 Sub: rw 10 Center Rc10 Rears RS10 (I think) Demoed these speakers: The BWs mentioned A couple Martin logans. Nice but big Sonus...

So, first, I want to introduce myself. Im a new guy from Minneapolis! Long time reader, first time poster. I finally am at that point to really upgrade my system to provide me a ton of enjoyment. I took my first steps by reading up a bit, and then went armed and ready to a couple Hi-fi...
