Northman Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 (edited) Hi. First time poster here.. We are building a house, and I have sort of/kind of/maybe gotten myself a dedicated listening/Tv room.. its supposed to be a spare bedroom and sometimes used as a home office. So, unfortunately I can`t go full AV room.. there are compromises. The room is 11,5ft x 16,5ft, 8,8ft tall, with a long skinny window up by the ceiling where I am placing the speakers, and a glass door and 6ft window on the opposite end. These two I am going to put heavy drapes across. I have always wanted a Marantz PM11 S3 & SA11 S3... and combine it with a Klipsch Cornwall. The build quality of the Marantz are very nice.. and the solid long living Cornwall intrests me quite a bit. I am however not sure, how Marantz and Klipsch goes togheter. Would any of you have reservations regarding this match? In between these, I am putting a 75" Ultra HD, 4K LED tv.. and running Blue Rays through a Oppo UDP 205 ( whenever it releases)... at a distance of 6-7ft ( Or, do you feel I would need to "upgrade to 5.1" for the imersive movie watching.. considering the large Cornwalls ability to really express themselves in such a sized room) The primary reason for it, is listening to music. But also, function as a "Home Theater" once in a while.. would the Cornwalls, be to large for this room?

muel Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 Don't build a square room. Cornwalls are not too big Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Huiez Posted April 2, 2017 Share Posted April 2, 2017 I have the little brother to the pm11s3 a pm8005 and a matching sa8005 and it matches up awesomely with Chorus 2 which has similar characteristics to Cornwall. I would bet the pm11s3 would sound very awesome with Cornwalls. I like sa8005 so much I am buying CD's like it is 1996 again I would like to hear the reference series CD player to compare.

jbsl Posted April 2, 2017 Share Posted April 2, 2017 I have Chorus 2 and I am thinking about the using the Marantz PM8005 preamp with my tube amp. I think this should make a very good combo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
