ADVICE PLEASE
Novice guy here so be Nice.
I recently came across a brand new in a box Yamaha Rx-V861 that my brother purchased some time ago. He never got around to even opening the box and now its mine. I purchased a pair of B&W tower speakers 600 series and I need advice on speaker cable and anything else that you feel I should add? My original plan was a budget of $3000, I got the receiver for free and spent $1800.00 on the speakers. Thoughts? Used amp? Cd player? What say you?

I agree with those that say to make your own speaker cables. It's surprising what you can make yourself and how good it can sound.https://www.amazon.com/InstallGear-Gauge-Speaker-Wire-Oxygen-Free/dp/B079VJXN1Z/ref=sr_1_2_sspa?crid... https://www.amazon.com/Mediabridge-Banana-Plugs-Corrosion-Resistant-Gold-Plated/dp/B00JFC9ALE/ref=pd... |
if i was just starting out and didn't already own a warehouse full of gear i would forego cd/vinyl/dvd and just stream from tidal or spotify--you can do this as cheaply as adding a google chromecast audio device for $25 (or get a bluesound node for $400-500)--you could also connect your computer to the receiver, which would also enable you to watch netflix, etc. |
