Hello all, I was perusing the interwebs and have recently been looking to upgrade my home stereo. I was running a 20 year old Sony receiver to a set of Klipsch KSF 10.5's. They have treated me well, but I am looking to upgrade both. I have already picked up 3 Aperion Audio Intimus L6-IW for front stage. I stumbled across the Axiom Audio EP500 and think I definitely need that kind of earth shaking sub in my life, but am open to suggestions on a sub as well. My question is regarding the gamut of receivers out there. I know this is all subjective and personal preference, but I am kicking around a Yamaha TSR-6750 or RX-V777 and a Marantz SR5008 and or SR7007. I think these would be sufficient to power the front stage and eventual rear(looking at Aperion in ceiling speakers). My living room is what I would call and very open layout with a wall that rises about 8 feet to somewhat seperate the living room and kitchen. I dont know what I would need to include to help with narrowing this down. I am not looking to go too overboard, but I do live by the adage "go big or go home"
I am somewhat concerned about the sound output of the inwall speakers compared to the towers I ran before, but they offer a much cleaner look for a main living room that I am looking for. Thank you in advance for any and all help and suggestions.
