Hello!
I'm trying to plan the purchase of a new audio system. The problem is, that I've recently moved and didn't have much choice considering a new apartment. In my opinion, it has a horrible layout for listening, but I'll be staying in it at least for a year. The room height is about 3.3 meters. I attached the pictures of the room layout below. The only reasonable place for a new system looks opposite the couch. I've marked it as a red X on the picture. The distance between speakers would be 2.5 meters, distance to the couch 2.7 meters. The window behind will have curtains. I'm actually not sure if I would prefer the system in the sleeping room, or there should be an additional smaller system too.
Considering the audio system, I've been owning an old Technics setup from the '70s including an integrated amplifier, turntable, and speakers for more than 10 years and it's time for an upgrade. Due to moving to a foreign country, I've left my old system back there. I'm mostly listening to bands and mixed genres from the '70s and '80s. It starts with Fleetwood Mac and goes till Miles Davis (actually a lot of Jazz) or something like 80's UK synth-pop or piano-compositions.
It's probably not the best time for a completely new audio system, since here in Germany audio shops are closed. But I'd like to give it a try since I can't take it anymore.
I'd like to combine speakers, an integrated amplifier, turntable, and probably a cd player/streaming device in a budget from 2000 to 3000 Euro.
I'm thankful for all your suggestions.
