Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated:
Just purchased a pair of b&w cm9 fronts with the matching center. I'll pick up a sub & surrounds in time. Currently I have a Denon 3312 but I still have time to exchange for a different model. Room is 19x16 open floor plan with the speakers about 15' away from the seated position. 70% tv & bd's with 30% music. 2k budget for av & amp. Need advice, this will be my first real system so getting some suggestion would be great. I been told that b&w's are power thirsty so an amp would be the best way to go. From what I have read online it seems that the av would be use for surrounds & sub. The amp for music at higher volumes, is this correct? Is the an AVR out there that I could purchase so I wouldn't need an amp? or should I keep my denon and possibly buy a emotiva xpa-3 or something similar? Since the speakers were pretty expensive I want to make the right decision, thank you all who reply.
