Hi, Just to introduce myself to the forum, I've been away from amps and speakers and the like for around 30 yrs or more, after decking out my "man cave" as the missus calls it.... (hate the expression myself) I thought of going back to my roots as they say and get back into having a nice set up....something I can just get lost in and not bother about whats happening with the country (dont mention the "B" word) or how my stocks and shares are doing (I wish).....
So, after a bit of contemplation, Ive decided to start off with a amp and build from there.... having no gear at the moment leaves me to find out just whats on offer and it was by doing a bit of digging that I stumbled across this forum.... so I'm open to views on makes and such like... my last set up was mainly Bang and Olufsen, with a additional Tandberg reel to reel.... In fact I still have the gear across at my parents... so I may well just drag a few items out and add them in to the new gear ...so to speak...I'm not looking to blow the doors of the place... but more to add in some retro music whilst relaxing... One of the biggest issues I can see me having.... is size of area.... the "Den" as I call it is only 10 x10.... so its not exactly the Albert Hall.... but its dry, comfy and warm.... and I have plenty of sockets around the place....
Music wise.... well anything really..... mostly 80's and 90's stuff.... with a bit of nice jazz added in is all it takes to please me.....
From the username some of you may well notice that I like my JBL speakers.... yes please.... but only old skool ones.... Ive always wanted a nice pair of 4355's but sadly Ive never had either the room or the dosh to acquire them..... maybe just one day I will get there,
Anyway, I will leave it at that for now....
Kind regards
Lou
