@diripio, I purchased the B&W’s brand new, a few years ago. Never had any issues what-so-ever. For what they are, they sound great. You could probably step that up to the 603 within your budget. I didn’t get them as the 602’s were originally satellites for a 5.1 system.
Want to setup basic home audio system
As the title states, I am looking for advice on the main components required to get a basic home audio system going for under 1k. When I do get to save more money, I am open to add more into the system. For now, what are the basic components of a home audio system that I mainly need to focus on right now? I am not looking to get a home theater setup. ONNLY LOOKING TO GET HOME AUDIO SYSTEM FOR MUSIC

So, I guess the, "OP" is the recipient of my, "Good Deed" for the week. I'll throw some nice cabling, "IMHO" in as well. Uh oh, I didn't just legally adopt this fellow did I? Those "Golden Ear, Triton's" mentioned above are a nice speaker. Does anyone know if the "Post Office", still has those nifty, (If it fit's? It Ships)"!! Flat-rate boxes just sitting there for free? I am sure I can jam each of these in a couple of those. And with a wrap of "Saran" maybe to keep the dust out before dropping them in? "Voila"! None of that "wimpy" bubble wrap or foam-"peanut like", strata, for Me! After all, they placed all of those dusty, oxidized and soft/puffy capacitor filled electronics inside that metal case to protect it all right? And is that $50 worth of , "Postal Insurance" still free with any tracked parcel as well? Did I say that gear was mint? I meant, "It Smells", like mint. "Someone spilled something one X-mas I think....... Anyway, "It smells" kinda like mint....and....something else......Hmmm. Of course, after the dog had all those puppies on top of it....... And, "Then the rains came"..... |
Thanks everyone for your opinions and recommendations! I learned more in the past few days than a month of reading about different types of speakers and amps. jollygreenaudiophile: Man I am extremely grateful for coming across someone like you online! You make this passion/hobby way more enjoyable and exciting! Good karma will be swiftly delivered to your front door. In regards to your request, I believe USPS mails out free shipping boxes in packs of 10 or 25 if you request them online. Otherwise, I know that the post office does have individual ones on the shelf by customer service. Thank you everyone for helping out this amateur! |
@diripio....If that 'hard drive' is in your 'puter/laptop, there's a plethora of freeware of an audio bent.... My fave is https://sourceforge.net/p/equalizerapo/wiki/Documentation/ ...with... https://sourceforge.net/projects/peace-equalizer-apo-extension/?source=typ_redirect which makes APO a bit more 'user friendly', and allows to wring the best out of a speaker pair. *S* And, after your feet get a bit more nimble....and a good calibrated microphone... https://www.roomeqwizard.com/ The only requirement is running Windows, the faster the better. Enjoy your Journey....J |
