Guys, I just purchased my 743(Thanks to Johnny, Sem, and John A.) today and can't contain the excitement I now have to hear this thing with a good set of speakers. I've scouted every thread on this site as I've decided to go with bookshelf speakers to save a little in the long run and be able to match the whole system. I'm down to the 42's or the sb-3's for my mains. My room is 17' x 14'completely open to the left with a tray ceiling. Can I go wrong with either? I can get a better price on the SB-3's and I think I will be very happy, but the 42's are awfully tempting. The NHT's sounded wonderful, however I wasn't able to listen to the 42's at my dealer. Anyone with an opinion on either? Thanks Guys for all your help!!
