There are fantastic pre-owned bargains out there. We all know this. That said, many budget-end enthusiasts just don’t know to what extent the system components work well together, if at all! In short – is there system synergy? Who knows? Well, I do!
I'm not selling any of this stuff; I'm pointing interested parties to a great sounding cheap-as-chips combo.
Truthfully ... I get bigger kick out of assembling systems based on pre-owned bargains (many of which I have had direct personal experience with) @ < £200 than I do systems @ £20k using brand new kit.
Obviously I'm not saying a £200 system gets anywhere near close to the thrill of one @ £20k BUT more often that not, a £200 system can sound really good and for many – truth be told – it's sufficient. So every now and then (if I spot pre-owned items which I know work well together) I'll show you a 2-channel system that punches far above its weight and for one lucky owner might save them many hundreds of £s compared to buying new. For simplicity I won’t include interconnects nor speaker cables nor stands; I will on your behalf focus on the ‘boxes’.
Todays recommended combo at £130.99 @ http://www.hifianswers.com/2016/09/a-great-sounding-pre-owned-cd-based-system-for-under-200-editor-neil-mccauley-shows-you-how-solution-39/
