Hi all,
Making my first serious foray into a proper HT system thanks to a series of coincidences which have left it possible for me to get some pretty decent kit but I’m not sure what the best setup would be.
I have the option of getting:
Marantz SR7011 AVR,
3xDali Rubicon LCR for the fronts/centre
6xMonitor Audio Radius 45 for surrounds/rears/atmos
Rel T5 sub
Emotiva A-800 power amp.
My instinct is to set up a 5.1.4 system. My real question is whether to use the Emotiva. I could power the fronts but it only puts out c75watts into 4ohms three channels driven. Is that enough? Will it make a difference? Alternatively I could power the surrounds / atmos and leave the three Dalis on the AVR. Would that be better? Or should I ignore the A-800 and get, say, a new A-500 instead? Grateful for thoughts...
