I'm building a new stereo system for a 20'x15'x9' room. My budget is limited to $2k CAN or $1500 US. I've done some research and listening, and came up with the following:
Yamaha RX596 $425 - good name, good specs, 200w dyn into 4 ohms
Polk Audio LSi7 $875 - excellent tweeter, store order only but 30 day return
Polk Audio PSW $500 - good for music?, 375 dyn power enough?
Stands, wire, etc $100
Aprox Total $2000
Also liked:
Totem Rainmaker $1200 - sounded great, no budget for sub but goes as low as 42 Hz
Polk Audio RTi6 $478 - sounded good but didn't give me that wow feeling, no reviews
Polk Audio PSW303 - 260 dyn power enough
Yamaha RX396 - only 100w dyn into 4 ohms
Do I have too little or too much power for the room? Is the price/performance good? Is the system balanced?
Any comments welcome...thanks
