Need advice, folks! B&W 603S3 and...
Ok, so I've decided to invest about USD $3,000 (all-in) for a complete 5.1 system (receiver + speakers + wires). After comparing the 602s vs. 603s, I decided to go with the 603s (no comparison in my opinion)...
Issue #1
Since I was really pushing my budget with the 603s, the sales associate at my dealer paired them with the following from the 300 series:
Center: LCR3
Woofer: ASW300
Rear: DM303
Is this advisable? I always thought I should be pulling from the same series (If you couldn't tell, I'm new to the Hi-Fi world)
Issue #2
The receiver he recommended (which sounded great but I'm not sure if it's more or less than I need) is the Rotelle RSX 1056 ($1300). How superior is the Rotelle to the NADs and Marantz models that run approx. $500 cheaper?
Any advice is certainly appreciated! Thanks!
