Possibly, are you able to reply to my message. Looks like you've read it.

Still nothing. I'll try sending you a message.

Nothing in my messages?

Offer declined, still available.

Rated 5 stars by What Hifi https://www.whathifi.com/marantz/m-cr502/review Genuinely used very little, I bought this in the UK originally and then left promptly left the country.

Pairs well with Monitor Audio BX2 speakers which are also for sale. 2 x 60w. Full specs here: https://www.marantz.co.uk/uk/products/pages/productdetails.aspx?catid=systems&productid=mcr502 Pictures:

Does anyone have any experience with Morel speakers - specifically the SP3 https://www.morelhifi.com/product/soundspot-sp-3/ Its design looks ideal for mounting in the position I need to (and angling sharply down from a height). They look to be an improvement in sound quality on the Q acoustics 7000LRi I was considering. I have looked at Monitor Audio Apex A10's, would definitely go for them but the mount doesnt allow them to sit with the side flush against the wall angling downwards.

The house is built, the bookshelf is not. I have another couple of months before the new furniture arrives (since when did furniture take 10 weeks to arrive?!), so I am enjoying a different layout until then. Currently have the tv on the short wall facing out to the long full length of the room. Leaves space behind the sofa, and plenty of space around each speaker. The new sub arrived on Saturday, thanks to Peter from Deephz. Will be running ARC this evening to get the system balanced. Looking forward to testing it out properly tonight but so far very pleased with it. I understand where you are coming from on the sub placement. Having it under the SR position looks good to me too, but it will mean having the sofa pulled away from the wall, not sure how well that will go down with the other half but we will see. Just need to find some good wall mounted speakers for the SR and SL now, but thats a different story.

And I thought I was pushing the boat out. Ha.

Hahaha.

The numbers look plenty powerful to me but room interaction also comes into it presumably, and that was my query. For all I know it could be too powerful given the room isn't huge, but better to go too high than too low I had thought.

I was looking at a PSA S1500. Do you think that would be ok for the room? I had a SVS pb1000 in the past and was underwhelmed, although the room was open plan to other areas of the apartment. The pb2000 is too large for wife approval.

Thanks for the advice, I didn't know that.
