Hello,
Some background first. I've recently moved to India and left my beloved NHT S series setup powered by a Marantz SR-8400 receiver back in the USA. The NHT speakers are very neutral sounding while the Marantz receiver was on the warm side. It all came together to a very clean and like-able sound that impressively captured every detail from a movie soundtrack. It helped that my source was the Denon 1930 DVD player.
Looking at the exhorbitant prices here for Home Theater setups my budget seems to be dictating my choices very strictly.
This is one of the setup I've been looking at.
Jamo 900 series + Onkyo 606 receiver.
Within the Jamo 900 series I am starting with the 905 center and then add the 904 + 903 and any decent 12" sub. (or two 309 subs??)
I plan to use this setup primarily for the weekend movie within a 20 ft x 16 ft room.
Here is where I need some opinions??
1. My choice for the 904 is simple. Avoid buying stands. Do the 902 deserve a place instead?
2. Should I consider the 906 for any reason?
3. How do the Onkyo partner with Jamo?
I've had no opportunity to audition the Jamo, but I've listened to the Wharfedale 9 series and the Evo 2. I instantly preferred the Evo 2 as it sounds leaps better than the 9. It doesn't help that 9 also has a very flabby low end.
4. How would the Onkyo partner with the Wharfedale Evo2?
I would rather like to setup a Monitor Audio Bronze or a B&W 68x series, but find no dealers or pricing in Ahmedabad, Gujarat.
Please feel free to thrown out any other suggestions.
