Hi everyone,

This a part two of a thread I created in the Home Theatre section.

As mentioned in the other thread, I'm looking at modifying my HT set up. Currently I have a Rec.: RXV-1300(Yamaha) DVD: DVDS700 Fronts: Mirage OM-12
Centre: Mirage OMC-3 Rears: OMR2s, No sub: Not a fan of bass, the speakers provide enough.

I took home a RXV-1600 and NAD T563 during the weekend since I listen to music 80%, HT 20%. I like the NAD because I found the audio better than the Yammie even though I've been a Yamaha fan since 98 when I started with HT (RXV-992).

Kex, gave me a couple of suggestions for receivers but emphasived to look at the speakers first. I've gotten tired of the Mirage, especially with the unique Omnipolar or Omnigude technology. Good for HT, bad for audio but in 98 I concentrated more on HT.

Anyhow, along with listening to the receivers, I auditionned some speakers.

Revels (Concerta series) and PSB (image series), there is only 3 excellent audio shops excluding the Best buys. So I'm trying to get some ideas for both speakers and receivers. Examples of speakers available close to home are Revels, PSB, Mirage, Energy, Totem, B&W. Receivers: NAD, Yamaha, Marantz, Rotel, HK. the one being mentioned are in my price range. Price range for receiver: $1000-1500Cdn, Speakers: $2000-$2500. No sub please, I tried them and I'm not a fan of them., Room is 15x12.

Any opinions would be helpful. Especially from the vets (i.e Kex, Wooch, N. Abs, etc). A lot of members on this forum are very dedicated, so I will take hints to help me.

Thanks
