8-10k budget suggestions please
Hey guys,
been out of the game about 10 years, got a new wife, new house, and plugged in my old B&W 804's. Connected them to a Denon receiver expecting to want to do surround sound.......But forget it! I really want to maximize my 804's for 2 channel listening.
My room is 15ft long by 13 by 9. not very big but I need amplification and streaming capabilites. Will add TT later as I do have vinyl. Room tx is on it's way so let's just assume it's already done.
Thanks for all your help!
Hey guys, thanks for all the help. I'm pulling the trigger on the KRELL. Petaluman, that is a great idea! I will definitely do that as I move through this journey but the Krell makes sense to me. I listen to rock, some country, and that is about it. I have the little LS Kef's in my living room and love how easy they are with everything built in. They sound great, but nothing close to my B&W's. At least to my ears. any suggestions on cabling guys? |
@asmithkash +1 "I will have this amp for 30 years." sure beats churning and chasing... and yes good amps can and should last that long. (I have an Onkyo Integra from 1986 that still kicks butt, and a Pioneer Elite from 1999 that is deep, powerful, and gorgeous... so unless there's something faulty, your Krell ought do a great job for a long time, indeed decades.) if you do, however, happen to feel like trying new speakers, consider Concept 50, by Q Acoustics. Personally, I don't like "bright" speakers, though I haven't heard your particular set... But, I understand holding on to beloved speakers, as with only small update I've held on to my Epi 100 speakers for over 40 years due to their smooth clear rich balanced sound. I also have other speakers now, too, but the Epi still due their duties in the room they're in. |
