Hi,
I am new to this group and this my first mail. I live in Bangalore. I am looking to upgrade this setup. My upgrade budget currently is around 30K. I am ok with used or new equipment both.
Current setup
B&W 602 S2
Marantz CD 6000 OSE
Yamaha RXV 596
Denon 585 tape deck
Samsung dvd player
I am in the very initial stages of my research, and haven??t yet tried any of the items. I want to have a short list ready before I go auditioning.
I can think of the following possibilities for upgrade. Feel free to add more options. Please also tell me the prices (atleast the rough range) for any item you suggest.
1. Add a good sub to the current setup. Possibles ??
B&W AS 300 (30K) or the older AS 1000 used
Morduant Short, MS 309i (17K)
Wharfdale Diamond SW150 (18K)
Wharfdale Diamond SW250 (38K)
Polk DSW PRO 500/600 (20K)
Klipsch KSW-10 18K
Velvodyne - Which models?
2. Replace the receiver with a decent integrated amplifier.
Marantz PM 7001
Marantz PM 7200
Denon PMA 700 AE
I am sure there are a lot more options for this.
3. Get a decent used sub and replace the amp with another used decent integrated amp. Any suggestions
4. Replace both the receiver and speakers with integrated amps and get some good floor standers. Is this possible in this budget. Assuming I get another 20-30K by selling my amp and speakers, what are some of the good options for a integrated and 2 speakers, preferably floor standing for about 50-60 K
I like my cd player and most probably will not be replacing that.
I usually listen to classic rock, some heavy metal, guitar based jazz, blues, Indian classical etc, also watch movies both dvd and divx, will be happy with 2.1 setup for movies, cant afford a decent HT and my wife does not want too many speakers and cables all around the place, she??s already cribbing about the subwoofer.
As you can see that I am thoroughly confused, with a plethora of options. Please advice as to which scenario will give me the best possible sound.
Thanx
