Dave the Canuck Unregistered guest | MARANTZ 6300 OR 7300 WITH BOSS ACOUSTIMASS 15 SERIES II SPEAKERS -- GOOD OR BAD? Hi Everyone, I am in the process of trying to decide on my first home theatre system, and could use some advice. I have a small living room (14-ft x 11.5-ft) and am considering a Marantz 6300 or 7300 with Boss Acoustimass 15 Series II surround speakers, sub, and centre speaker. The reason I'm leaning toward Boss is because of size. I do not have the room for large speakers. I should note that although I'll be using the system for home theatre, it will also be my primary stereo system. My questions are: Do you think this would make for a good combination? If not, then what small speaker system would you recommend? Also, would the Marantz 6300 be okay in that size of room, or should I go for the 7300? Any other advice of opinions you can offer would be very much appreciated. This is going to cost me some coin and I don't want to make a bad choice. Thanks, Dave |

Search this sight and you will get the idea. These sound just as good for a lot less. http://www.cambridgesoundworks.com/store/category.cgi?category=ht_htib On the left side, click on the Home Theatre, and you will see choices - I like the lower end models with neodymium settelites. You can get a complete combo for $550 and it will sound comparable to your version. Energy speakers at circuit city also sounds better - they are small too. |

Dave the Canuck Unregistered guest | Thanks James and therealelitefan. As for size, I don't have room for much larger than bookshelf speakers. I've seen the Energy Take 5s and they would probably fit okay. They also have great sound. Dave |

I've been using them for a while now and they sound great. They are a bit more $$$'s than the Take 5's, but with the system you are putting together, they will be worth it. |
