I am considering the 9700/7500/LFM-1 combo. My speakers are:
Front - Vandersteen 2Ce Signatures
Center - Vandersteen VCC-1
Rear - Vandersteen 1B

These are "relatively efficent" speakers...50 - 125 w/chnl is recommnded. Amps should be stable below 4 ohms. Listening room size is 15 x 12 x 10.

I am thinking that the 7500 may be "overkill", and perhaps the 7125 a better fit. I tend to listen at "full room volume"(?)...ie..LOUD

Any thouhts will be appreciated.
