Great choice! I am using the Diamond 220's for my desktop setup and the Denton 80th anniversary bookshelves for my main setup. Still have a set of B&W CM1 S1's to use in my main setup as well. That is, if I find/make the room. Working on that as we speak.
I have a Denon X3300 to power my Dentons/B&W CM1's and a Cambridge SR20 stereo receiver to power the 220's. Thus, the 220's will be placed close to the rear wall. That is the main reason I went with them instead of the 10.1's which are rear firing. Congrats on your new toys! Hope to see some pics!
Cheers,
Phil
Thanks Phill, sounds like you have your ducks in a row.
This is just a temporary setup as I'll eventually move the Yamaha receiver into my smaller second floor living room along with the sub when I get a new tv and figure out a speaker setup for the space.
I'd actually been contemplating the Cambridge SR20 to run the 10.2's in the BR as it will only ever be a 2.1 setup in that space, although I'm leaning more towards the Cambridge CXA-60 integrated as I can do without the am/fm bits in the SR20, but not decided 100% yet.
I hadn't bought a new A/V receiver in a pretty long time and wasn't looking to spend a fortune so this discontinued Yamaha fits the bill for the moment.
My other A/V units are all slightly older stuff.
Sherwood RV-6030R, Onkyo M501, P301, T404, DV-S501 separates and an Onkyo TX-DS747 A/V receiver.
Next up is likely a Cambridge SR20 or integrated amp and an SVS subwoofer to replace the VRP-10.
