Just for the info, guys, can u tell me which wud be a good matching bookshelf/floorstaning speakers to go with the Marantz PM4001? Btw, is the 2x30 watts output enuf for a decent size room? I presume this is only a 2 channel amp.. which one wud be a better amp for a surround setup? N it wud b gr8 if u can mention the price as well..:)
 
Lets say, arnd 20-25k... the lesser, the better btw...:P

Btw, is Norge a good choice for the amp? Wud be gr8 if i can wrap it up within 20k..:P (speakers included) So pls suggest some combos...:) Also, can i get some good Floorstanders in this price range? :)
 
Alright, it seems the Norge 2060 suits my needs..its got 80+80 watts output...and at 6.7-7k its a steal..i'm definitely shortlisting this unit, moreover, evn AV Max rates it very good.. But i'll only put in my money after i get a demo..

Also, will check other brands in the 10k range...

As for the speakers, pls suggest some matching speakers. Considering tht i may be willing to spend 20 k on the system, tht leaves like 13k after the 7k for the amp... So can i get decent floorstanders for 13k or so? :)

bookshelves are there from 8k i think, rio got his wharfedales at around that price and floorstanders chaos got his jamos s408 for around 15k
 
^ I wud prefer floorstanders over bookshelves(who wudnt..lol.)... So any recommendations tht'll squeeze in 13k?? :P (i'm seriously on a tight budget)

Also, can ne1 tell me, where can i get to take a look at Wharfedales in Mumbai?

Can i get a decent pair of wharfedale floorstanders in this range? :)
 
at 13k, you prob want to look at the wharfdales... i auditioned some of the bookshelf models before, but didn't like the sound... ended up spending more (a lot more) on a pair of B&W 805... but nothing else comes close to the wharfdales for budget bookshelves...
 
^^Hm... now that one is interesting :P. What are you driving them by? I auditioned an 805 with a musical fidelity integrated... found them a bit too forward sounding for my tastes.
 
Consider the Tannoy Mercury Custom F1's, awesome bookshelves for ~ 8k!

As for floorstanders, you'll probably be able to squeeze in the Jamo S406 (@ bottle, 408's are stopped).

nothing too fancy.. i use an Arcam A32 to drive the 805.. warm and natural sounding.. tested with a classe setup but that's a little out of my league ;)

Umm..i kinda prefer a floorstander...:P Though I dont want to allocate any more cash, i may just end up paying a lil bit more if i dont get good floorstanders in 13k. :P

The cheapest decent floorstander u'll get is the Diamond 8.4 for 19k or thereabouts.

Cud u pls tell me the power ratings of these Tannoy Mercury F1?

Also, about the JAmo S406, will it be a good match for the Norge 2060 (80x2 w) ? I wud like something which the Norge can drive properly without feeling underpowered.

Also, r thr any wharfedale floorstanders tht can be squeezed in 13k?

:muahaha: No way....:bleh: I'll try to squeeze it in 13k...but no way am i going to part with my P990i...:devil:
 
Okay, i just found tht the Tannoy Mercury Custom F1 has a power handling range of 10-70 watts max n the impedance is 8 Ohms..so it doesnt match the power rating of the Norge 2060 (80+80 w) @ 4 Ohms..I dont want to blow my speakers..:( So can ne1 suggest a good matching speaker for this amp?

M ready to consider Bookshelves too i think..:(
 
^^Doesnt matter... speakers will never be blown as that amp is 80W@4 ohms. Hence it'll be roughly 40W at 8 ohms. The tannoys are good entry level speakers, so are the wharfs. The jamo s406 is something I'd not recommend.
 
norge+WHARFDALES GOOD COMBO BEEN CHECKING THRU MANY FORUMS ITS REALLY GOOD IN SOUND OUTPUT BE BE CLEAR BEFORE CHOOSING ONE HEY RYAN EVEN I HAD SAME CONFUSION BUT GOT IT CLEARED WHEN I WENT TO CHAOS PLACE

Can u explain a lil bit...The spec sheet says 80+80 watts @ 4 ohms... so doesnt it make a 160watt total output ? :S
Also, the tannoy Mercury F1 spec sheet says tht it can handle 10-70 watts amp power..Now is tht for both the speakers together or individually?

I'd once read somewhr tht one shud always buy speakers n amp with the same impedance rating.
And since u r saying tht the tannoys will operate at 40w@ 8 ohms, what r the disadvantages of using such a setup...will tht cause low output from the speakers?

I hope u'll not mind the noobish Q's...(Archi guy here...:P )
