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!

Glad to hear you are enjoying the Krell and that it has met your expectations as an upgrade. 

I believe the next step is to improve your source with a streamer for Tidal.

Ok, if you were listening through your phone using bluetooth, then you are in for a treat… that is about the worse possible combination… OK, better than MP3… or a transistor radio. You need to be streaming through a connected device… so Tidal… or better yet Qobuz is directly received by a streamer… Lumin is a good one. You want to use your phone or iPad as a controller… not the receiver / streaming device.

Get an Ifi Zen Stream.

One option for those reading can be Lyngdorf Tdai 3400. The convenience I think is worth the price of admission
