    £2.5k budget secondhand hi-fi advice

    Yes it's rectangular with a bay window. Actually my mixing room is nearly square but that's another story.. There will be loads of room treatment going in there and the mix position will be well into the center of the room. For my lounge I probably wont go as far as treatment just yet. So that...

    £2.5k budget secondhand hi-fi advice

    For info the room is 20m square, and I'm very curious to have extremely low frequencies as I'm into stuff like Pauline Oliveros' Deep Listening, acousmatic (only stereo obviously) recordings and experiments in sound generally. I cant wait to hear what Phil Niblock sounds like through an...

    £2.5k budget secondhand hi-fi advice

    £2.5k budget secondhand hi-fi advice

    @Greg Any specific recommendations for pro gear? I know PMC are quite often seen. Not a fan of genelec or huge tannoys. I'm looking for transparency, but some monitors can become a hard listen after a while. Anything pro with good low end is probably soffit-mounted or massive.

    £2.5k budget secondhand hi-fi advice

    Well, I will keep an open mind and of course will be demoing as much gear as I can get to. The PMC IB1 looks amazing but way out of my price range. As I mentioned I wont bother with cds to keep costs down. I can just rip them and play them back through a macbook into a DAC. Thanks for the...

    £2.5k budget secondhand hi-fi advice

    Hi, I'm looking for some advice on building a new hi-fi system with a budget of around £2.5k (I will be buying used/ex-demo items) I will need floorstanding speakers with good bass extension down to about 30hz. My room is quite large. Amplification and a DAC. Most if not all of my...
