Ian is teasing me with an "opportunity" to move to these Actives.
I love my current suite of Axiom speakers, and already have a few more heading my way for an Atmos upgrade. Swapping my beloved M80's out with 1100 actives was nowhere in my mind for an upgrade. But now I'm pondering this possibility, a little.... Regardless, I won't be separated from the M80's. They scratch an itch. I guess I need a bigger house.
I have the VP160 for the center, and again - I love it. Plus, all my speakers are real wood walnut, and I like the way they look. If I get some 1100's, I'll just have to get the damn things in Piano finished Rosewood..... grrrrr....
Questions I have....
Will the actives play nice with my 160 center?
How much "breathing room do these actives really need? The M80's are already intruding into a small space.
I have two, 5 channel, 200 WPC amps with ice modules. I use an Anthem MRX 1120 for a pre-amp. Can I, or maybe - should I, use these Ice based amps for the actives, or should I just get some Axiom amps?
I really can't believe I'm thinking about this...
