I might be buying a new 4B³ if I go for the 20.7s..
I am trying to decide of upgrading is audiophilia madness or just something to do... Last time I jumped on a new car (I really did not need) instead of buying the 20.7s.. That car is two months away from being paid off.
Then.. do I buy the amp first? or the speakers... Refinancing the car is the easiest way to gain instant cash on hand.. It should still be worth $18K as collateral..
For YOU, I would certainly LISTEN to the new speakers with your current amp. Other folks biases do not make for realistic decisions.
As for amplifiers.. When I was going for the 3.6.. I did some reading, and Bryston was the #1 'recommended' choice.. I owned a Forte'4a then. But thought the little 50 watts/channel Forte' was too small. As I have upgraded other bits, the Bryston amp has clearly been able to let the better sound flow through it. SO I think the Bryston has been a great choice for me.
IMO the fireplace is not a 'big deal' acoustical problem.. It is more of a 'so what'. LOL
