BTW, the reason I recommended the Wharfedale speakers over the Klipsch is that they’re a straight-down-the-fairway, very good speaker that’s well balanced and won’t offend you in any way. The Klipsch, on the other hand, can sound bright and become fatiguing with extended listening depending on the system. A good system is all about balance, which is why I recommended the system I did. I think the system you mentioned could potentially sound bright and fatiguing, but that’s just an educated guess. Just my $0.02 FWIW.
Help me to build my first stereo system
Hi, I’m AJ and I’m new here to the forum.
I am getting married in June and I want to get a nice stereo system for our new apartment. Only thing is they im on a budget… I’d like to spend around 1500 max between speakers amp and turntable. What would you guys recommend to me ?
thanks so much for the help :)

Welcome to the machine, and congrats (condolences) on the upcoming nuptials. I’d recommend this system. The amp is a The Absolute Sound product of the year and also has a nice internal DAC in case you wanna get into streaming at some point, which you absolutely should. The turntable has a better tonearm than the one you chose and also allows for important vertical tracking angle (VTA) adjustment, and I think just flat out looks better. The speakers are excellent Wharfedale speakers with a walnut finish that will nicely match the turntable (fyi, wives love stuff like that). Total bill — $1500 plus tax. https://www.crutchfield.com/p_336D120WLN/Wharfedale-Diamond-12-0-Walnut.html https://drop.com/buy/drop-audio-technica-carbon-vta-turntable
