So my mind is ALMOST made up. I am almost positive that I am getting the B&W 683's, but I also really liked the Monitor RS6! The only thing is the Monitors were a bit brighter and it seemed to distort a bit on the high notes when the volume was really cranked up. The B&W's on the other hand handled the tune flawlessly even when it was turned way up.

Now my mission is to find the best componets that I can for my set-up. I am looking to spend about $1,000 on the receiver/amp set-up. What I am planning on getting right now is an Onkyo 805 with a $400ish decent amp. Do you guys think that this is a good route to go? I have been recommended by other audiophiles that I really do need a dedicated amp for the B&W 683's. Do you think that an amp will really make that big of a difference?

All I am buying right now is the 2 mains, receiver, and possibly an amp. In a few months I will buy the surrounds, center, and a sub to go with the system.

Any suggestions would be GREATLY apprecaited!

Thanks in advance
