Arry74 Posted September 21, 2008 Posted September 21, 2008 Really interested to know and why you got them?
bobbyf Posted September 21, 2008 Posted September 21, 2008 (edited) Really interested to know and why you got them? I'm running a 7002 with some B&W 685's, 686's and HTM62 centre, with a SVS PB10 subwoofer. I got them because they sound great, look great and were not too far over budget. I tested them against the equivalent Krix set up and it was only the looks that won it for me for the B&W's. SQ was very similar between them i thought. Bob Edited September 21, 2008 by bobbyf
cvmcvm1503559889 Posted September 22, 2008 Posted September 22, 2008 Have 7002 with VAF DC-X fronts, DC-6 centre and DC-7 rears. Took a long time to decide to go with the VAF as they can only be purchased direct from VAF (with 30 day money back option). Great reviews on this site, plus not any really decent suppliers in Darwin to test any good speakers. These factors lead me to the decision to try them. I have been totally satisfied with them and dont regret my decision to go this way. No thoughts of ever returning them.
ritzav Posted September 22, 2008 Posted September 22, 2008 B&W 602s3 bookshelves for the front B&W LCR600s3 for the centre Velodyne CHT-12R for the sub ( too big got carried away with it ) So currently it is a "3.1 setup" but it still sounds great. Very soon will be getting the new B&W 686 baby bookshelves for the rears to take it to a "5.1 setup" I like the sounds of B&W + Marantz combo
Guest obee Posted September 22, 2008 Posted September 22, 2008 B&W 683 fronts DS3 rears HTM61 center ASW610 sub. B&W and Marantz combo sound great.
50mxe20 Posted September 23, 2008 Posted September 23, 2008 Some threads you might like to read through. Probably glean who has what. Marantz Sr7002 Av Receiver Marantz Avr 7002/8002, Whats The Score? Denon 3808 Or Onkyo 875 Or Marantz Sr8002? Marantz Sr7002 First Impressions
Arry74 Posted September 23, 2008 Author Posted September 23, 2008 Well I have definitely made my mind up on the AVR, the Marantz 7002 for me, I think. Now the speakers?? Mourdant-Short, B&W, Whatmough etc....??? If I was to go into a shop and listen to an earlier Marantz but with the speakers that I am after would the sound be similar or is that just way off base?
Jeffie1503561482 Posted September 23, 2008 Posted September 23, 2008 the *001s and the *002s should sound the same.
Juicester Posted September 24, 2008 Posted September 24, 2008 even say a 5001 to an 8002? surely not.... perhaps jeffie means direct product comparison - ie: test a high end 001 to a high end 002 or visa versa, low end 001 to low end 002....

momaw Posted September 24, 2008 Posted September 24, 2008 I can feel the B&W love matched to 7002's in this thread For what it's worth, 683 mains HTM61 Centre 685 Rears And loving the combo to death.
Arry74 Posted September 24, 2008 Author Posted September 24, 2008 hmmm I am starting to feel all warm and fuzzy inside about the Marantz and B&W combo Now all I need to do is to go listen to some :-) I wouldn't mind listening to the Dali's either .....
