Great system builders are not born, they are made over time.
To become one, requires work and a (long) journey.
Just start. Just Do. And Do some more....

Need advice
Hi,
I am fairly new to the audio world and am putting together a system based on my budget. I have an Ikura TT, Rotel RA-1570 intg amp, Marantz CD60006, Martin Logan 700 powered sub. I am 57 and listen to a broad spectrum of music. My budget for speaks is 1000 or less. This time of year affords me more deals in the sense that some 1500 speaker pairs on half off. I have been pointed towards;
Q Acoustics 3050i
ELAC Uni-fi UF5
I have been pointed towards Fluance, Pioneer and blah blah blah. I have educated myself on sensitivity, impedance, neutrality, etc. My Rotel will easily accomodate 4 ohms.
Pls help with any other suggestions...I am just OVERWHELMED with the shear volume of choices and opinions.
Thanks in advance.

I saw this "Uncle Kevin" video yesterday. The Tannoy towers he's touting cost "only" $1100. They look very interesting. Regards https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rYuQnZbVeaw |
@mormark — My deepest apologies. After years of being here I get a little frustrated when certain information isn’t provided, and I failed to realize you’re new here. Welcome, by the way. I’m honestly trying to help here and hopefully get you better and more targeted recommendations for your specific tastes because we all hear differently and value different things. Let me be specific — although you’ve given some good info, we don’t know what is probably the most valuable information to make recommendations specific to your tastes. So, if you could let us know what aspects of sound reproduction and speaker performance are most important to you — i.e. tonality (warm vs. neutral), detail (hyper detail or not), imaging, 3D soundstage, pace rhythm and timing, bass (depth or speed), dynamics (micro/macro), etc. — it would be super helpful for us to better make recommendations specific to your tastes and needs. And again, my sincerest apologies for my rudeness before. I really do want to help if possible. |
