Am very much decided on brand (Marantz) but still

undecided on either SR6200 or SR7200. Anyway,

I would like to know your recommendations for

speakers to match this receiver.

 

Have auditioned Mission 780 and liked the sound but

I feel it lacks power. Meaning when I turn the volume

close to half, the sound coming out is already different.

Can anyone recommend me better speakers for the

same price range 600SGD.

 

Thanks,

If u really like marantz, then go for the best you can afford. If u buy 6200, you'll always have a nagging feeling "should have bought the 7200" when things don't go right.

 

The idea is to buy as much power as you can....of the same brand of course....

Why not floorstanders since u are looking for HT, unless u are into serious stero also. Can try the mission M73 or M74.

floorstanders actually give more headache to calibrate bass response, but when tweaked, its oozes authority in its bass, mid-range and treble fluidity.

 

Try not to limit to just within mission, there are others out there that may be a more better match to your ears and the amp.

Thanks for all the response. I am planning on using

bookshelf speakers as main initially. This is because

wife not approve of budget. When she finally agree,

am planning on moving the speakers to surround

and get floorstanders as main. But that is another

issue, as for now my main concern is to get best

bookshelf at this price range.

 

I was at Klas audio last Sunday and saw/heard

dynaudio (don't know which model) and the music

was great (a lot better than mission 780 on music).

Anyone suggest if these are within by range and

which model to audition?

Dynaudios are mostly fabulous with music but dependant on model, I don't really know about their compatability with HT. Do not allow yourself to be overawed by the music you heard the other day. It is probably paired with a Stereo amp, not an AV RECEIVER. Things will be different with a receiver playback on music. If you can, get an audition with the amp you decided on and the relevant speakers.

 

If I remember correctly, the specs on the catalog that Marantz has given me, the SR6200 & 7200 are same power BUT the 7200 has multi room capability.

erhm...if the ones you heard were bookshelfs, should be the 1.3SE (ard $3.6K) driven by (I think) Chord amps.

OH I see... With the sound I heard, the speakers must

really be that expensive.

 

Fowler, you are correct. there seems to be no receiver

running when I heard the sound.

 

Well, can anyone recommend specific speakers I can

audition for that price range? I will initially have 2

speakers (so mostly music) but eventually buy centre,

surround and sub. It will be 80% music but when I finally

complete the setup, it'll be 40% Music and 60% HT.

 

Please recommend so I can start my hunt. Thanks.
