I think I would prefer a 5200HC over the 5500HC....I must admit that I didn't realise the SW1600 went down to 20hz....so may well add an extra dimension, even with 7000s.
As long as you set the 5200HC to "small" and you crossover sufficiently high enough to reduce bass load on the speaker, I think it would work nicely for you.
Good to know, thanks.
So, latest consideration is 2*DSP7200 mains, a DSP5200HC & a 1600SW, leaving the surround sides / rears as passive for the moment.
Two more questions - 1) spikes or feet ? I have medium thickness "office" carpet on the floor & solid concrete underneath - my B&W's are spiked. 2) And why doesn't anyone take the grilles off the DSP7200's ? We removed all the grilles as well as the tweeter mesh & I think the (black) speakers looked much much better....
Also, have had an offer of a home demo for the 7200's from my Distributor (Armin2) - all we have to do now is to convince my dealer to carry them up 5 flights of stairs ! I think the best thing to do is to get the 861v6+HD621 set up & my ears tuned in to them before bringing the DSP's into the picture - then I should really know for sure - right ?
