For someone getting started, the studio 100 v3 is an excellent choice. There are better out there, but they are more picky about placement, and electronics, and won't offer the overall value that Paradigm will. Magnepans are too big for your room in my opinion. I have about the same size room and am using a stand mount speaker. Musical Fidelity is a great place to start with electronics. Especially with Paradigm. If you are really itching to try tubes, look into Anthem. They are a sister company of Paradigm and like Paradigm offer very good value.
Just getting into mid-fi need advice
After looking up all the messages out there, I am a little scared to ask this question with the title "hi-fi" as I am afraid my budget might not buy me entry into one so have titled it as "mid-fi"
I have come to the following conclusions,
I need a setup for a sterio system only (no 5.1/7.1 stuff).
I need advice for speakers I was thinking of the paradigm reference studio 100 V3 speakers.
I listen to classical, rock (not heavy), indian music, acoustic guitar etc.
I am willing to spend another 1000 on the components and was thinking of buying them second hand here at the gon.
Please help with recommendations.
Also I am a little confused about the buzz on tubes, actually I was quite surprised to see so much enthusiasm about them. I am a electronics engineer and work in semiconductor devices, its been ages since I read about tubes however I was impressed about all the class a amplifiers out there using tubes and the talk on solids clipping harshly. Do you folks think that using a solid state amp in the linar regime will still not produce the sonic quality of a tube?
Please advice, if you think my rather no-knowledge questions sound stupid please accept my apologies.
