Hi All,

I just wanted to thank everybody for their advice on which front speakers I should upgrade to. My LSI15's arrived the other day and I love them. Much more articulate and musical than my old RT600's. They really make listening to 2 channel stuff enjoyable. My existing Receiver, Marantz SR880, drives them pretty nicely although I intend to upgrade it with say a Marantz SR-14EX, or Marantz SR9200, for a bit more power and more bells and whistles.

Hey Mantis, if you're out there, thanks again for the advice!!

Colleen

    If you are interested, I have a friend with an SR9200 that he's selling for around $1700 I think. I can check if you'd like.

    Congrats on the LSi's. Let us know how things work out! :)

    Just a note, the SR9200 is being replaced with a SR9300...

    SR9300, SR8300 and SR7300 OSE Digital Surround Receivers: Top of the Line Performance

    Marantz’s SR9300 is the company’s new flagship home theater receiver, designed for extraordinary performance in every respect. The THX Ultra2-certified 7.1-channel SR9300 is compatible with every popular 7.1, 6.1 and 5.1-channel surround sound format and incorporates a wealth of high-end features, such as four component video inputs, multi-room operation with configurable amplifier output, 140 watts x 7 power output and much more.

    The Marantz SR9300 will be available late March 2003 at a suggested retail price of $3,199.

    I have the 8200 and with the exception of the time it takes to switch audio (up to 4 seconds, imaging flipping through TV stations with digital audio and waiting 4 seconds for audio!) it is a great receiver.
