Thread: Looking for a Receiver for a B&W Setup. Help!

Hey guys,

I'm fairly new to the home theater world. I need a reciever and i've heard a ton of options but I need some good advice.

I've heard Okoyo807 , Rotel 1550 ... and so on.

Here is the setup, I dont need anything super fancy just something that will allow me to get the most out of the speakers. Id like to keep the price point under 2k.

B&W cm9 fronts
B&W cm5 rears
B&W cmc2 center
JL F113 sub

Any advice will be appreciated.


Thanks

Jon

Yamaha RX-V3900 or -RX-Z7 if you can get a deal. That's what I recommend to most of my customers great receivers. I am a dealer never had problems or complaints on countless installs for just about any budget.

What do you like about the Yamaha's over other brands?

I think they are all great but cant touch the Yamahas features wise and user friendlyness but if I had to choose otherwise I'd stick to the Onkyo.I'm also an onkyo dealer but I sell more Yamaha by 5:1.

if youre using b&w i'll only use rotel and NAD.....sound quality is what i'm after..

i have 6.1 nad receiver , 4 bw ccm 65, anthony gallo center and rear center, 8 inch REL sub..

still havent found a reason to upgrade .... been 6 years..lol i've listened to a lot of stuff... no comparison

SteelCitySupra, on a side note how is that JL sub?

I have a similar system. After much research I chose an Integra receiver. Its Onkyo's premier brand. Better than yamaha, denon etc. and way more features than a Rotel.

I have heard a lot of good things about it. Unfortunetly I havent plugged everything together yet.

Which model did you go with?

Rotel and B&W are made for eachother. Features schmeatures. You want quality products. After the first hour you won't use any of the "features". I bought Rotel when I was 16. It's still working great 16 years later.
