It might be crazy, but I would suggest you take some of your recorded music out to your local dealers to see how much "live' experience or sound various amounts of money might possibly get you. As as exercise, it may put in perspective just how difficult it is to break recorded music of its elements. Beyond that, it will give you a sense of what you may want to purchase to get closer to that ideal. You might also consider getting a good headphone amp & headphones to hook up to a reasonably priced cd player to hold you through until you can make those purchases. It sounds weak perhaps when held up a speaker/amp system, but there are some very good sounding and affordable tube headphone amps out there that will take you a long way towards a more realistic music experience.
Is "live" music sound possible for under $1K
I primarily liston piano, chamber and opera. I was wondering if anyone had experience producing a realistinc presentation for about $1K not including the source? My listening room is 14 x 20 X 8. I thought this could be accomplished by an inexpensive tube pre-amp ($200-300) and older vintage amp such as a Pioneer Spec 4 or Yamaha approx $300, and possibly some older klipsh's (KG-4) or newer Axiom's M22ti's approx $400. Am I on the right track? Has anyone been able to accomplish this? Any recommendations for any of the 3 items?
