Hi everyone! Since I started renovating my house I always had in mind to create the best possible audio experience in my living area and ever since I have been reading audiophile websites and blogs. Time has come now to upgrade and make some decisions and I still feel very much unsure about it.
I currently have a pair of audio bronze 2 book shelve speakers connected to an old denon receiver.
Having resisted for a long time, I have now changed views totally and want my future setup to include the possibility to stream music. In terms of speakers I am doubting between the following: Q Acoustics 3050, Dali Oberon 5 and Dynaudio Emit M30. I know the latter are in a ‘higher’ price category but they are on a sale in a shop here in Gent. Still more expensive (if not double) as the others so I am wondering if this is worth it. My audio bronze speakers will move to the kitchen so I still want to connect them to same amp.
For the amplifier or receiver I am between Yamaha N-303D. This a very cheap receiver. Also thinking about the Marantz NR1200 and the Marantz PM700N. The NAD C338 is another option I am considering. Here I am wondering if it’s worth having the possibility to use an ethernet cable over the wifi possibility.
This will also serve as sound for what I am watching on my projector. I was planning to get an Nvidia Shield (replacing a laptop) but have read that when sending the sound through the Nvidia there is a lot of distortion. If that’s the case I would rather just connect a chromecast to the projector.
I am also wondering whether it is not worth buying for example the Marantz PM6006 and just add the chromecast audio.
These are the questions that have ‘troubled’ me for many many months and I would be extremely helpful to get started on this forum with some advice
Thanks a lot!
