Hello all,
1st post and sorry for any obvious noob questions. I have been into a lot of iems and headphones, but with the iso and work from home I am thinking of assembling a HiFi setup.
I am based out of Sydney and live in a apartment [for now]. I might be moving to a bigger place in the next 6 months and that is when I will look at upgrading this initial setup.
What I am after - a basic hifi setup.
- Amp (Stereo or 5.1) - Happy with used good condition one
- Network streamer or Chromecast audio - I will be using primarily Tidal + Spotify and YT music( for different genres)
- Bookshelf speakers - Happy to get used /good condition ones
What I listen to : Rock, Jazz, Vocals classicals, Opera and symphonies, very keen on tonality and punchy base. I have realized I dont listen at higher volumes much but fidelity is important.
Now comes the budget, I am looking at < 400-450(max stretch) $ for all the above with upgrades for each every 6 months(sooner based on the savings!). I am not even sure if we can do this at this price point.
Some of what I have been looking at and seeking feedback
- Polk Audio t15 bookshelf (200$)
- used yamaha htr-2067(120$)
- chromecast audio(70$)
Thanks gurus for any help in advance !
Edit 1: Any Sydney based AV stores recommendations whom i can get in touch with for advice as well?
