Where are you planning on installing the "in cabinet" m60's? Do you have a big enough wall cavity?

In a cabinet... \:\)

The front wall of my media room will be a wall to wall entertainment center I am going to build. I'll try to upload a basic schematic I have. I need to figure out how big of a screen I am going to get, then build it around the screen and speakers... I also need to find where the best place is for the sub up front before I build it.

Baha haha ha hahaha ha hahaha ha ah ha \:D


I think all of us here know JohnK's take on amps... there is no place on the market for them. However, somewhere between filling your shoe closet with music and filling Madison Square Garden with music, a Denon, Harmon Kardon, Yamaha, etc... will fall short. Then, it's time for an external amp (or 50, if your room resembles MSG in the slightest).

But somehow I just know that JohnK would be very happy listening to a pair of M60's powered by a Denon 1909 sitting in center court at Madison Square with him sitting in the top row. I just know it! ;\)

Not merely my "take" Micah; simple principles of physics. Listening distance is the key.

Enjoy the music, not the equipment.

As is listening levels and it doesn't take all that much to need a lot of power.

Turn it up \:\)

Which was what I was trying to say when you 'noped' me. So there!

I know think suspect hope that we can all agree that to fill madison square gardens to reasonable levels would take a little more than an AVR.

Fred, the "nope" was for room size, not listening distance.

Well, in a 10' x 10' room, you are never going to end up 20' from the speakers, so room size has to have something to do with it.
