Looking for “just good enuf” for garage man cave


This might be too sophisticated a group but I’ll try anyway!

i have a 25 ft x 27 ft heated garage with cable TV. I am looking for an audio system solution for under $1000.00. Objectives are for GOOD ENUF (not great) for both TV audio and music audio in formats of CD, USB wired or BT connected audio devices, streamed music from WI-FI connection, AM/FM tuner. WILL NOT NEED FOR LP playback ….probably going to be used only 5-15 times per year … which for me rules out more elaborate solutions.

One simple solution is a decent sound bar for the TV (Bose, Samsung et al) + an all in one microsystem (lG, Sony others) that achieves the man-cave requirements listed above.

I have searched for one receiver + speaker combo but it always gets limited by either it great for TV but not music (either by TV to receiver connection or by speaker config) or VICE VERSA.

ALL ideas greatly appreciated

@doctoru used Audioengine A6 powered speakers? Not sure would fill the garage but would work great for sitting on the couch, asssuming it’s within 15 feet of your TV. My son’s pair play loud enough (with clarity) to drive me out of his 15’ x 15’ room. Have all the connectivity and remote control options you could want, and no need for a dedicated source if you don’t want to deal - can just stream tunes off your phone

Have to admit, some cool old stuff, and $500 in the pocket, could be great. Check out Oaktree Vintage Audio and Sounds Classic - I haven’t dealt with either of them, just know they have wild selection of cool stuff from the late 70s/ 80s /early 90s

Tell us what you decide and enjoy!

Have a great day
