I posted here earlier asking for suggestions on both speakers and a receiver/amp.
I decided to go with the Focal 706V (http://www.focal-fr.com/accueil_en.htm) speakers and a NAD 325 integrated amplifier (http://nadelectronics.com/products/hifi-amplifiers/C325BEE-Stereo-Integrated-Amplifier) . I'm using a Marantz cd5001 as well.
This really is a great setup, and I'm very happy with it. I'm glad the speakers are not any bigger, they're 'big' for the space that they are in.
I also purchased the Denon 697 http://usa.denon.com/ProductDetails/3363.asp... I think the NAD sounds better. Not to mention it was nearly $300 cheaper. I wasn't sure about the Denon to begin with..
Here's a picture of the speakers: http://xs311.xs.to/xs311/07036/Picture086.jpg (webcam)
I didn't think the speakers would be this big :ihih: its a 32" LCD and I figured i'd have space, but I'll need some stands.
The speakers are big for the listening area, but not too big.. works great. I'm a college student and it is my first stereo setup, I'm really pleased.
Thanks for the advice guys.
