Hello !

I'm moving in my new flat and i'm hesitating which one should be the best for this listening room from the pics in comments,

Speakers would be placed in front of the sofa and i would mainly listen them from my sofa,

On the top of the picture is a glass sliding door, at the bottom the kitchen.

These revel speakers are the only options i consider, as i compared many speakers and already heard revel m126be.

Would you rather take the revel booshelf m126be or revel floorstabding f226be ? What would be pros and cons ?

I'm asking because i can afford each of these speakers.

I could also add one or two sub (may be svs micro 3000r evo)

They would be paired with mini dsp flex and audiophonics mpa-s250ncx amp.

Thanks a lot for all your advices ! 🙂

I would love to hear advice from people with more knowledge on speakers. My room is relatively small, 15 m² (5 meters by 3 meters, speakers are at one of the 3 meter sides). My amplifier is a Denon PMA-3000NE, cd player is a Denon DCD-3000NE. Speakers I currently use are Wharfedale Super Lintons with a REL Classic 98 subwoofer. I find the Super Lintons wonderfully sounding, but also a bit too laidback. Therefore I'm looking for something more engaging. I like all kinds of music, a lot of classical (especially opera and orchestral music), but also a lof of popular (from Phil Collins to Night Ranger to Japanese city pop and fusion jazz).
I'm looking at the moment at the Mofi Sourcepoint 888 speakers. Why, because I read these are definitely step up considering engagement. However, I also can imagine they are perhaps a tad big for my room. Although on the internet discussions about matching speakers and rooms size can be pretty dividing. Which makes a choice not easier.
My budget for speakers is about 10.000 euro's. Would a Mofi 888 be a great match? Or are there speakers I'm completely overlooking? I'm not a huge fan of a very analytical and/or bright sound. I realise these are highly subjective though.

Hi all,

I recently acquired the Indiana Lines Utah 5 speakers, after months of research i figure it was the best choice for my budget, sound and aesthetic preferences. I have to say it is a bit more complicated for me to search about amplifiers and I'm scared of making the wrong choice. Basically I understand I don't need the absolute best amplifier since my speakers aren't that powerful, but I don't really get at which point it will make a difference - for example, I would say I have a 200euros budget for it, but I don't know if in doing so I will loose that much precision and should rather go for a 300e budget - or if it doesn't change anything at all.

I live in france (paris) but can order from amazon, the room is 27m2 and the only thing I ordered so far are the Utah 5 speakers. For input source I plan to use either my computer/phone (streaming services) or my vinlys with the turntable (Crosley, cruiser model). If anyone has any suggestions, they would be more than welcome!

Thanks!

Hello everyone. I’m new to the world of vinyl. My husband inherited a sizeable collection from his father a few years ago, and I’d like to buy him a turntable with an amplifier and speakers. After reading r/turntables, I’ve decided to buy the Audio-Technica LP60XUSBGM, but I’m not sure which amplifier and speakers to choose.

I’d like to buy a 5.1 system that’s compatible with that turntable and also with my TV – is there anything like that on the market that offers good sound quality? My budget is 600€, and Im in Spain.

Thank you very much. I hope my post makes sense, English isn’t my first language.

!thanks

Hi! Looking for your input on adding a subwoofer to my 10x14 feet basement office. Budget is 1500$ or less. Willing to buy used and am in Canada.

Sub would be paired with Focal 706 or Paradigm Founders 40B, Arcam A38 FMJ and Wiim Ultra.

Thanks!

My location is US.

My budget is around $3500.

I currently listen at my desk nearfield normally 65-75 db.

The genre of music I listen to varies from Jean Michelle Jarre electronic to Vitamin string Quartet. Yoyo Ma, Van Morrison, John Williams to 80s Pop, Simon and Garfunkel, Dire Straits and Acoustic.

My current setup is ATC SCM 7 which I really enjoy for acoustic. Lyngdorf 1120 with Lyngdorf BW 3 Sub. Both the sub and Amp are moving to my living room so I am looking for an Amp replacement.

My sources are Clearaudio Concept Wood, Oppo 105d, and my DAC is PS Audio Direct Stream Dac. I also have a Burson Headphone Amp.

I don't want a DAC in the Amp but I do want an MM phono stage. MC is not required.

So looking at used, tube or solid state and understand the ATC SCM 7 needs some wattage to drive the 84 dB sensitivity.

I have never used tube amp so would need auto bias if tube is recommended

Any help appreciated

Thanks. AJ

Hello guys, I’m trying to get into vinyl and cd at a budget as my local vinnies (like a charity shop) has a bunch of old cd and vinyl that I’m really interested in. I’m a music enjoyer myself and I have a Fosi sk02 and Hifiman ed xs as my main setup. Basically I was scrolling on marketplace and found 2 listing which I’m really interested as after asking ChatGPT, it recommended it. I just wanna double check if it’s a good option cost to performance wise.

1. Yamaha P-300 for 60 AUD
   
2. Yamaha CDC 765 for 50 AUD but it had a broken drawer motor so I’ll have to assist it with my hands.

Thanks!

I have a Yamaha R-N602 and a technics sl100c with a AT-VMN95SH. Which seakers do you recommend? I have a small room and would place the speakers near the wall. Location UK. Thanks

Hi all. Coming from a very basic setup and I could use some direction from people who know what they're doing.

**What I have now**

A Sony Bluetooth turntable feeding a Bose Bluetooth speaker, plus a separate Sony CD player that isn't currently connected to anything useful. No amp at all.

**What I want**

One system that handles vinyl, CD and streaming (Spotify or similar). I'm open to modern, vintage, or a combination of the two. I like the idea of vintage kit if it's a sensible thing to do rather than a rabbit hole.

**Budget**

£1,000 at an absolute stretch, ideally a bit under. Happy to buy used for some or all of it if that gets me further.

**Room**

About 25 square metres. UK terraced house, so party walls and neighbours are a real constraint. Speakers can go on stands with some space behind them if that helps.

**Music**

Pretty eclectic. Rock and alternative, a lot of hip hop and rap, Japanese pop, and a fair amount of electronic and club stuff. So a decent, controlled low end matters to me, but I'm not chasing volume.

**Where I'm stuck**

- Integrated amp with a built-in phono stage plus a separate streamer, or one of the all-in-one streaming amps? I don't understand the trade-off well enough to choose.
- Is it worth keeping the Sony CD player, or should I budget for something better?
- Should I replace the Bluetooth turntable straight away, or is the money better spent on amp and speakers first and the deck later?

Happy to be told I've got my priorities in the wrong order. And if there's something I've left out that you need to know, ask away and I'll answer.

Thanks.

I'm looking for a set of speakers that I can connect to a mixing console and play directly from my PC. My budget is around €600 max. I'd like a good subwoofer and 3–4 smaller speakers or so. I'd prefer an XLR cable connection between the speakers. The area they'll cover is 30 square meters max. (the speakers themself should not be to big) What would you recommend?

I’ve been using a Sony Hi-Fi stack for some time now and am looking to upgrade to a better system for both quality, playing my CDs and records as well as some higher quality streaming, and general interest in how all of Hi-Fi works.

I’ve been eyeing up some pieces of gear for a few days now but as I say know little about the ins and outs of gear and comparing specs is a little hard. This is what I’ve built so far with help from online and general discussion.

Pro-Ject Debut Evo 2 Turntable
Schitt Mani 2 Phono Pre-Amp
Schitt Sys Switch + Vol
Fosi ZA3 Amp
Elac Debut B6.2 Speakers
Shanling CR60 CD Transport
Topping E302 DAC
WIIM Pro Streamer

I’m looking for recommendations and suggestions if there’s anything I can improve or swap out here or should prioritise more or less than other bits? Keeping in mind I’m on a budget around £1500-1800 max.
