I’ve been happily playing music via CD player or turntable for ever. However, in an attempt to de-clutter our lives we are planning to go digital...with the exception of keeping my turntable and LP’s...okay, part digital. Basically, my floor standing speakers, cd’s, CD player and spare amps are all being evicted. My husband wants minimal kit and ceiling speakers in a vaulted ceiling. His idea is get a Sonus system.
I’m a digital audio Luddite, but I think this sounds dull and boring, the only Sonus I’ve listened to music through have been bobby basic micro setups and not in the same league as my mediocre leviathan setup. That said I have little idea of reasonable alternatives and I’m running out of time.
My budget is going to be pretty tight, I will buy secondhand where possible. Worst case scenario is, to keep my Rega brio R and turntable, connect up my elderly MacBook - fill it with ripped CD’s, and focus the spend on speakers.
It would be great to hear from you if you have gone down a similar route, what will I need to buy, are ceiling speakers a dead-loss, what to prioritise, mistakes to avoid etc.
Thanks.
