Speakers for newbie


Hi everybody,
my 1st post but i spent lots of time reading the forums.

I've got Marantz SR6006 receiver and thinking about purchasing B&W P6 series. Ill be listening 50-70% to music and 30-40% movies.

Please let me guys know what do you think, any help greatly appreciated. Sadly my budget is only $1000

thx,
eMax

I've always been a fan of Totem speakers and would recommend checking out their options. In particular, a pair of Arros would make excellent fronts which you could later combine with a set of Dreamcatchers or Mites and a Storm sub to make a full 5.1 system. Arros routinely come up used on Audiogon for around $700-800. If you can stretch your budget a bit more, a pair of used Hawks for you fronts would be even better.
Purchasing used speakers is much safer if you someday want to skip and get different ones.

Among a million others. How far away from the speakers will you be, and how big is the room?
