I'd like to thank everyone on the forum for all your help over the past couple of months. Looks like the transformation has begun on my new HT setup. I just finished purchasing a set of demo M60tis. They were a steal @ www.canadianhifi.com I dealt with Dylan & Rob who were great. Speakers arrived yesterday and, despite being demos, were flawless (I almost wondered if they sent me brand new by mistake). They have a bunch of other models they're clearing out too.
All I can say is WOW! Vast improvement over my old JBL floorstanders. Everything sounds so 'accurate'. Unbelievably clean. I used to listen to all my 2 channel music with the sub on, but I could easily get used to it without. I'm going to have to take this week off work. I've got 400+ cds I need to experience all over again!
Looks like the next project is to upgrade from the receiver (maybe next month or 2). I was planning on a Anthem MCA50 to power, but I'm going to try a few different options on a pre/pro. I'm going to do comparisons between a Rotel RSP1066 (or 1055), NAD T752, and something budget, maybe a Yamaha RXV-630 or Marantz 4300 or Pioneer 712. Should be interesting and I'm looking forward to hearing the difference!
Sorry about the long post everyone, I just wanted to share my happiness with everyone on the forum.
Thanks again
Scott
