Starting Over
Hi All,
Well I need some advice.
After much trial and tribulations, I decided to sell my gear and start over. As I have stated before, I had to relocate my system into as very small room (9’x11’) and it just did not work. My old gear included a Cary 303 CDP/Rouge 99 preamp/BAT Vk-200 Amp/Dynaudio 1.3 Mk II.
Right now I am “holding the fort” down with my old but reliable Luxman reciverR-1050/ Cal audio DX-1 CDP/ and EPI A500 speakers.
Since the room is small, I don’t need a lot of power, but I do want something that gets the timber and the subtleties of the instruments right. I listen to mostly to small scale Jazz combos and female vocals. I also listen to some pop but mostly as background music.
I am looking to spend about $1000-$1500 used on a CDP and about $1500-$2000 on an intergrated amp, and about $1000-$1500 on speakers (something with a small footprint and don’t need to be placed in the middle of the room to sound good). Tubes might be an option, but I am concerned about matching the amp with the right speakers.
Anyway if anyone has some suggestions I would be happy to hear them. Remember, I am always looking for that magical, synergistic system that does not cost an arm and a leg.
