@jollygreenaudiophile2: I hear ya, but as that site is deemed credible and the charges for shipping are $150-250, I would hope that the gear is packed sufficiently, if not in original boxes. Best not to assume and I think that would be something to verify.
Want to setup basic home audio system
As the title states, I am looking for advice on the main components required to get a basic home audio system going for under 1k. When I do get to save more money, I am open to add more into the system. For now, what are the basic components of a home audio system that I mainly need to focus on right now? I am not looking to get a home theater setup. ONNLY LOOKING TO GET HOME AUDIO SYSTEM FOR MUSIC

Diripio, I may have missed it, have we been given the room size? Room size, distance from speakers, loudness levels desired, all in addition to speaker demands contribute to power needs. Could you please provide us a little more guidance regarding the environmental aspects. Given none of the room variables are extreme, any 50-100wpc, 4ohm capable amplification will drive speakers having a true 86dB sensitivity rating and a reasonable flat 8 ohm impedance plot. There are many speakers that fit your budget and these constraints. I am curious as to what you are using now. |
asvjerry: I'll definitely look into that! It seems almost similar to setting up a home theater with the mic calibration. mesch: Room size: 11ft x 12ft Does 70-80dB makes sense? Maybe a bit louder than a vacuum cleaner going off. Distance from speakers: 8 ft Currently, I am using my logitech computer speaker system along with a marshall tube combo amp for my guitar. I will say the logitech did its best to hold up but the guitar amp overpowers those mini speakers. |
thecarpathian: Although it may sound like I'm going in the reverse order, I have made a deal with jollygreenaudiophile2 to get the Nak amps off his hands. As for speakers, I am still doing my research on some of the used gear found on the web. The speakers listed below were listed from a local audio shop. Didn't have the opportunity to check out the store due to work meetings but plan to go tomorrow to demo these speakers. What do you think of them?
