Recommendations to a small room setup


Hello everyone,

Im setting up a system in my apartment this coming fall and just wanted some extra input from those much more knowledgable in this field than I am.

My living room is fairly small (~200sqft) so I am looking for speakers for this size.

I have looked at Dynaudio Excite X12s, Magnepan MMGs, Dali Zensor 3s, etc. But honestly, they all seem pretty good to me.

I was suggested against the NAD C165BEE and NAD C275BEE setup for any small speaker setup (maybe except for the MMGs), so I would love some input on electronics setup as well. What do you guys think about the Marantz SR7009??

Finally, I will be mainly listening to alot of pop, indie, ballad, jazz, blues, acoustics, and EDM. Also, I hope to have the speakers and electronics I purchase to be pretty decent when watching movies/TV shows.

Thank you!

Who/why were you "suggested against" the NAD BEE series? These are a great starting point, especially for Magnepans. I auditioned Maggie 1.7s with an NAD C 375 BEE and it took some vigorous component swapping and experimenting (resulting in handwired tube phono and line preamps plus Perreaux power amp) to just slightly exceed the NAD.

A C356BEE and Magneplanar MMGs should be a great small system match.

The Marantz SR7009 is a 9.2 home theater system.
Rather than NAD separates, the NAD C 356BEE integrated is a better choice for your situation. (80 wpc and stable into 4 ohms).
