Dear FMs,
Happy to be part of this esteemed forum which has become a one stop for all things Audio / Video. I am from Vijaywada, moved to Jaipur after marriage in Feb. Until Feb I was enjoying Elac F5 paired up with Yamaha R-N303 which I left with my elder brother in Vijayawada. My experience has been good with this combination but nothing great. The speakers were kept at about 6 feet apart with no toe in, as I like a wider sound stage. Mids were good and I did not have to sit at the sweet spot always to enjoy it. The bass was good, but overshadowed the mids even if volume was increased slightly. At below than avg volume all was good, but with slight increase in the volume the boxiness became very prominent and had to lower the volume. Since the old setup was in a small house, so volume had to be kept low. In my present house we have 15X 17 dedicated room and just want to have a 2-channel setup. Source would be BT pairing with phone or the .flac on my laptop. I am looking for a very balanced sound, with good bass (not a bass head). My volume will always be bit on a higher side, so highs, mids and lows should not smudge. Vocal clarity and music presence are very important for me.
Few of my favourite tracks apart from AR Rahman & Bollywood:
Many thanks - Pratyush
