What next????


I did it… I’ve gotten my first set of B&W’s! For my first set I got a demo’d pair of cdm-1nt’s for fronts and an asw300 subwoofer to give a little more bottom…

Currently, I’m running them with my old amp and player… A Sony home theater receiver and a Sony DVD player… Not the best stuff, but its what I have to get started.

With that said, my goals are to have a home theater (5.1) and listening room (2.1). First I want to build the audio part. I’m on a budget so I’m buying used or demo’d equipment. I’d like to get some cdm-7’s or 9’s for fronts, use the cdm-1’s for rears, and the matching center channel. I also want a better receiver (integrated) and player (cd/dvd). Last thing I will purchase will be a TV for my new room. Right now I’m thinking Rotel receiver and player. With my income this is going to be a slow one at a time process. That in mind…Here’s my questions:

What next? What will give the most immediate satisfaction? Right now I’m thinking a player. I want a rotel dvd/cd player…or do I save for the cdm-7’s or 9’s??? Get the speakers going???? What about a receiver????

What do you think?

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

Most probable you can get more out of those speakers with a new receiver, but before suggesting...what's your budget for each item ?
Aven,

Forget what Judy426 says. Execelent choice. krell_man is correct that Musical Fidelity is an execelent match for B&W speakers. That said I searched the classifieds for an MF A308CR Integrated with a HT bypass which I think would be a nice starting point. Unfortunitally I didn't find one but they do show up occasionally. This integrated also has pre out's for connecting to your sub.

As for a CDP I don't have a recomendation. I run a Transport and a DAC as that is my prefered option right now.

Good Luck in your search.
