In Reply to: looking for recommendations on new equipment? posted by dzwal on August 21, 2004 at 11:17:43:
What gear do you have now?What aspects of music/sound are important to you (soundstage/imaging, dynamics, forward, laid back, bass, delicate treble)?
You mention A/V: how many channels are you looking for? Would a nice 2 channel system that also sounds great with movies work?
What is your budget? Best to break that down to: What is your MAX budget & what would you really PREFER to spend.
Are you dedicated to brand new gear, or would prudent used selections be considered?
Could you describe the room & how the system will be laid out?
If you can answer all or a good portion of those questions, I think people will have some ideas for you that might have more value than blind recomendations.
Follow Ups:
Thanks for the suggestion. Since you asked, I am really starting from
scratch. I have some older Yamaha equipment, which I plan to use for my home office, and would like to upgrade to all new components.I primarily listen to what is now referred to as fusion,modern or smooth jazz, but I also listen to traditional jazz and classical.
I could live with a darn good 2 channel system but would prefer more
channels for the surround effect.I know you can spend a lot of money on audiophile equipment; for an amp/preamp and speakers, I initially set a max of $3500 but after my research I may have to raise that amount considerably. I would really like the most bang for my buck in the $2500 range.
I am not opposed to good used equipment, but how do you know if it is
"good used equipment" ? Are there good reputable sources?
The equipment will go in a great room 30 X 25 with a 2-story ceiling and lot of windows.
