Compact receivers audio

[kglea]

Hello,
I've been searching for a "compact" receiver for a 16'X16' room
The compact dimension I am most interested in is the depth of the unit, wanting it to be under 15", including the cables portruding from the rear.

 

[soundguruman]

you never said what type of receiver. What are you trying to receive?

 

[kglea]

audio receiver with surround sound capability

 

[soundguruman]

that is pretty difficult for a surround amp.

 

[kglea]

How about without surround capability?

Good receiver with surround sound is NAD Components.

thank you musical marv

what specific receiver (component) are you referring to?

I have been looking at the NAD C-715, because of its size and favorable reviews.

Thinking of buying Orb Audio speakers.

Obviously, looking for good quality audio in a small room.

The receiver you mentioned in your post is quite good. Speakers for the Vandersteen Speaker called the1-C a modest not to expensive which is excellent for your needs.I never heard of Orb speakers. i am an audiophile for over 47 years. having systems that cost over $15,000 to $1,000. Marv

thanks.
the dimensions of those speakers are the same as the B & W ones I am removing because they take up too much space. Orb Audio is a newer, very commercial company, but they appear to have a very good product.
Looking for high end quality with a small footprint. For the receiver, this means that the depth needs to be under 13 or 12" to fit in a small cabinet.
Am looking at network receivers from Denon (RCD-N7) and Cambridge Audio (sonata NP30), in addition to the NAD mentioned above.

Cambridge audio is decent components and so is Rotel which is excellent for the price. I use to have there cd player and the int amp. good sound with Martin Logan Sequel speakers I had.Try reading a site called Positive Feedback very informative.
