I am about 50/50 for music/HT.
Below is my inventory so far:
(2) CBM-170 classic (potential L/R)
(2) CMT-340 classic (potential L/R)
(1) CMT-340 center classic - center
(2) HTM-200 classic - surrounds
I want to run a 5.1 system, with a potential upgrade to 5.1.2. If I go to 5.1.2, I will most likely add in-ceiling speakers or get another pair of HTM-200s to mount on the ceiling. I'm still trying to decide whether I want to use the CBM-170s or the CMT-340s as my mains. I'm leaning towards the 170s because I love the vocals, and the 340s sound a tad muddier.
Below is what I'm considering as additions:
Rythmik L12 subwoofer
Yamaha RX-A1060 / RX-A860 / RX-760 Receiver
I think my main question is this: which of the receivers should I purchase? They all seem pretty similar except for the price and power output. Would the 760 or 860 be enough to power my setup?
Any other thoughts on this setup? I want to make sure I don't have a "weak link" per se. In your estimation would these components fit together pretty well?
Thank you thank you thank you for any advice you can give.
