Dear Team,
I had been an avid reader of the hifivision for some time now, but had joined the forum yesterday only. Am planning to get my audiophile journey started and had decided to start with a Active Speaker system and had set my budget as 45-50k. My primary usage is to listen music from Bluetooth and occasionally from my PC. Am not planning to connect the system to my TV as of now.
Started with online audition of the so called party speakers from JBL and Sony from the nearby Croma and Lulu Stores and found to be very unrefined, i don't remember the models since my interest got lost due to their loud apperance itself.
Checked out some soundbars, found them to be more suitable for movie viewing than for listening to music. One of my friend had bought Yamaha YAS 209 and he had only good things to say about it.
Thats when i started to looking at Yamaha as a music brand and their bookshelf speakers, checked out the yamahamusic store and almost bought Yamaha NS333( it's out of stock now). While reading and seeing the reviews only I got to know that these are passive bookshelf speakers and require a receiver or an amplifier to power it.
Went back to the drawing board and started learning on bookshelf speakers as i like their form factor and found out the nitty gritties of Passive Speakers , Active speakers , powered speakers and some basics on Amplifiers and connectivity.
Sorry for the long post , now getting into the heart of the matter.i had short listed the following speakers for my Music listening thru Bluetooth and occasional movie viewing from my PC.
a. Q Acoustics M20 HD ( from hifimart.com)
b. Edifier S2000 mkiii (From Tatacliq.com)
c. Hivi D1090 ( from Amazon.in)
Considering the after sales service and my location which is in Kochi. Can any one suggest which one should I choose. Or should I extend my budget and go for an Amplifiers + Passive Bookshelf combo. Since my source will mainly be Bluetooth or PC is it wise to invest on Amplifier + Passive Speaker combo. I had seen some good deals in olx for a relatively new Amplifier (Marantz) and Q Acoustics 3030i speakers.
Regards,
Vivek
