Hi.
Its been a long time since I used these forums, previously for AV equipment discussions and advice and selecting tvs.
I'm currently building a house and looking to select some hifi equipment and get some assistance in where I should should be researching.
I have a large vaulted area which is a kitchen and open plan living area, I'd like to add a speaker system here preferably wall/ roof mounted which would fill the space well and be loud and of good quality but doesn't need to be audiophile perfect.
It also extends out to a canopy covered area which will be outdoor bbq, seating area etc.
We only stream music these days (I hear some of you cringe) we have some cds but can't see us ever getting them out apart form nostalgic reasons.
Hence I was looking for some input on an amp and speakers and what things I should be thinking about. We have other rooms and may extend the system but multi room is not hugely important.
What is important is ease of use, it must be able to go loud, loud enough that I'm scared to take it to max volume but still be clear.
Likely I want to turn on my phone,.hit Spotify,.select.a track and then jack the volume up and enjoy..the ability to turn on zones or not would be helpful..so to include outside.
Preference is a separate amp and wired speakers. I know sonos might tick the box here but I do t know why I just don't but into it and the ability to do what I want and get it loud. A simple set up is.ok.
To add we.will have a TV in that room and adding a soundbar that can be incorporated would be good.
Midrange and some good bass also essential.
I'm thinking I'm asking a lot in a simple system which requires more thought but any advice appreciated.
Thanks.
