Hi all
i'm at the "looking about" stage of setting up a system in the bedroom.
I dont have anything at all yet.
it will all need to go on two Ikea Billy bookcases either side of the TV. The depth of the bookcases is about 26cm, so i dont have loads to play with.
The options ive seen so far (i'm looking at used options for budget reasons):
TEAC A-H01 - the one i have doesnt have a remote control, but it might be in the ebay remote control pit with all the other "no remote" listings. cant turn it on and off with the remote anyway
Denon PMA-50/30/60 - These look pretty good. there seem to be as many faulty ones for sale as working ones on ebay though.
NAD D3020 - These also look good. V1 or V2 would work for me.
Yamaha WXA-50 - I like the look of these quite a lot, its the most expensive option used though
Harman Kardon Citation AMP - These run pretty hot apparently, and it too early to tell what the reliability is going to be link.
Are there any other options i'm missing?
Another way to go is active speakers. with a DAC/preamp. There should be plenty of DAC options that would fit in the space.
Or go "all in one" active speakers with bluetooth and inputs into the speakers, like the Triangle LN01A for example.
What would you do, and why?
More info...
So far, i'm thinking of a pair of small "bookshelf" speakers, one on each bookcase. Most small speakers are rear ported, so i'd need a bit of space behind them.
I have some Dali Zensor Picos that i use on my desktop in the office. These are about 20cm deep, and i have some Quad 9l2 that i use for rear surrounds which are a similar size. I can try both of them for testing when the time comes. I could have the speakers stick out a bit from the shelves, which would give a bit more space at the back.
There is room in the corner for a small sub, about 28cm square floor space if memory serves. An old REL Quake would fit, but maybe something like a Q acoustics 3070S would be fine... i'll probably start another thread about that.
Amp wise, i have about 36cm width and the same 26ish cm depth. I use a Teac A-H01 with the Dalis in the office, and its "fine". It should just about fit, depth wise, with the right speaker connections and a right angled mains plug.
Input wise, i need an optical in for the TV, And optical in for a wiim mini. ive just got one for the Downstairs and it seems really good. i could convert the TV optical to a coax if that makes things easier. And bluetooth, but i can use the Wiim mini for that presumably.
a subwoofer out would be handy, and a trigger out would be too, i could then potentially use that to switch the sub on and off.
A remote control is required, and a volume knob is desired.
Thanks
