hi
was wanting your advice on best speaker set up.
Just bought a new amp as my last one blew. Went for the Sony STR-DN1040 (What hifi product of the year 2013) and using my existing BandW MT60 and M1 satellites for the surround (5.1) speakers.
The amp is capable of 7.1 surround, and has one set of speaker terminals on the rear which is assignable to either surround back / bi-amp / front high / front B.
I dont have any more M1 sattelites to connect but have a set of BandW 601 S2’s like these
in another room not really getting used and wanted to put them to use. I have connected them up and assigned the channel to front high, but wondering due to their size they would be better assigned to front B and use them for stereo only? will mismatched speakers cause any problems? also putting at the rear not really an option due to limited space unless I hid them under the sofa.
Ive also got a decent marantz stereo amp kicking about to so is bi-amping an option, but I must admit I dont really understand this.
cheers
