Buying my 1st system with your help !!!
Dear All,
I am a complete novice to the hi-fi system world. In fact terms, terms like AVR, sub woofers, etc is something that I am still familiarizing myself with !!!
So I can see of no better way than to ask advice of people who the best. I therefore seek your knowledge and advice on buying my 1st system. Looking forward to all your replies !!!
My requirements are follows:
1. Budget: Around 50k 60k (including installation)
2. Usage: (a) 80% for listening to music (including MP3s downloaded from internet) and 20% for watching movies
(b) Having the option to expand to a home theatre would be good
(c) Wouldnt mind having a good sounding system for listening to music that could also be used for a reasonably good movie watching experience.
3. Room Size: 16 feet x 14 feet (225 sft)
4. Other information: (a) I am looking for clarity and depth in sound which makes my listening experience a pleasure. Not into heavy metal or music with a lot of bass.
(b) As a novice, I wouldnt want a system which is very confusing to operate.
Keeping in the mind the above requirement, please advise on:
(a) Whether I should go in for a floor stand speaker or a book shelf or even the regular system from Sony (or related brands) would suffice ?
(b) Should I go for a 2.0 or 2.1 or 5.1 ?
(c) Source of music PC with sound card or a player (from denon, yahama, etc) ?
(d) Looking at my requirement and based on your knowledge, please suggest the final system configuration, and the make & model of the suggested configuration
Thank you so much !!! (btw I am based in Bangalore)
