Hi, I am currently looking to dip my toe into the magical world of Home Theatre for the first time. Unfortunately my budget is limited to about £600 for an amplifier and a set of 5.1 speakers. The system will be used in my living room, which is about 20' wide by 12' deep. I also need to limit my speaker choice to smaller speakers to keep my wife happy.
I have identified a possible combination of a Marantz SR5400 amp (£350) and Tannoy FX5.1 speakers (£225) which look like they might fit the bill. (I also considered the MS Premier system speakers, but they are only rated to 80w and the amp is 90wpc.)
I would be interested in any opinions on: a) If this combination tends to work well together? b) Whether the system has enough power to do reasonable justice to dynamic dvd soundtracks in a room of my size (240sqft) without having to drive the amp to death? c) If the sub-woofer on these speakers has a reasonable depth? d) If there are any other combinations, given the price/room/wife constraints that I should also consider.
Many thanks in advance.
