The Munich show is in a month or two…
Moved countries, help me get a new stereo system
Not sure why my thread got deleted (maybe because I described my country in a disfavourable way, which I do believe so, but whatever). Here it goes again without that description.
Long story short: moved from South America to Denmark. Now I feel like a kid first entering a Lego store: lots of options, I'm completely lost.
Back there I had: KEF R300 + vincent sv237mk. I was satisfied with it, but I want to upgrade now. But read on about the Vincent
Budget? 4000-6000 euros.
Room: about 4x3 (moving to new apartment, haven taken proper measures, but it's ballpark)
Source preferences: digital 90%, vinyl 10% (will get a record player later on, so don't count it within that budget).
I'm inclined to look in the used / demo market since prices get crazy "low". So I've spotted some Dynaudio Special Forty, and I was considering a cocktail audio n25 as a streamer. Any other suggestions for speakers?
Not sure if those are the best choices, but I'm completely lost at amps. I was about to get a used Hegel H160 or H200, but then I've been reading lot of hate regarding the company concealing it's manufacturing in China (don't care) and the transformer making a hum which Hegel says it's "normal", so now I'm having 2nd thoughts. Other stuff I found:
- Primare i35 prisma (would skip the streamer), but this is class D and I'm just not sure
- Music Hall A70.2. Don't know much about the brand, but it looks like it's powerful, and it's cheaper than anything else
- Yamaha A-s1200 (new)
- Gold note IS1000: same, no idea about this one
- Krell KAV-300iL
- Lots of NAD, e.g.: M12, etc.
- Atoll in200
Any thoughts?
