Marantz 5400 and B&W 602 S3: good match ?

Tim Huynh Unregistered guest	Posted on Tuesday, August 24, 2004 - 03:43 GMT I have a Marantz SR5400 receiver and am thinking of buying a pair of B&W 602 S3 to go with it. Is it a good match ? Later on, I'm planning to get a full 5.1 HT system with 602 S3 front, 600 back & LCR60 center together with a sub. Any comment is appreciated. Thanks.

And I thinkg the panasonic has better bass and is smoother.

Look at Monitor Audio's Bronze and Silver series and you'll find a perfect match for your Marantz. Good luck.
