Ranj For several years I ran a large set of electrostat's (xstatic)
and when I got into HT I added a processor and all the extra amplifiication $$$$ and then all kinds of various loudspeakers
and different amplification scenario's and eventually burned out on
trying to create a satisfying combination music/HT system and ended up buying a very nice but cheap (several year old)Yamaha HT receiver and 4 well used B&W 602 s2's and an el cheapo Sony active sub (less than $200 retail) all off Ebay and set up my HT in the family room and found my HT experience very fufilling and left the music system in the LR and while I've made a few changes in both systems over the years I'm extremely happy with both set up's, I came to the conclusion that when it comes to HT and music (at least for me) they're sufficiently different that unless you spend megabucks it ain't gonna happen at least not for my ears or tastes.
