Hi everyone,
Got a bit of a dilema which I hope experienced ears will be able to help me out on, i'll give a brief run down...
Got into hifi seperates in the late eighties, and went through such items as Technics su700 amp, Goodmans Maxim 2/JPW Sonata/Tannoy Jupiter S speakers, Dual CS503/2 t'table and all manner of cd players, laserdisc and dvd player to drive the cd's.
Never had what I would call a 'proper' hifi setup. I got into home cinema in the 90's and not looked back, until recently.
Currently have KEF 2005.2 and a Yamaha DSP-AX757SE which is great for what I need (only have a small living room) filmwise, but musically i'm not happy.
I have a dining room which measures 12'1 x 10'11 so it's not massive and being a victorian terraced i'm not going to want a monster set up.
My music tastes are electronic/synth based ie Depeche Mode, Kraftwerk, Goldfrapp etc to rock QotSA, Foo fighters, Mansun, Muse etc
I'd really like to go down the 2nd hand route, age of equipment isn't a problem, i'd rather go for a well proven sorts like cyrus or audiolab, nad amps, mission, epos, tannoy speakers etc but I don't know where to start as to parntering these items with the type of music I listen to.
This is where i'm looking for opinions etc as I can't really go and demo kit that isn't in shops no more!
Any opinions welcome!
TIA Paul.
