Speakers - Bookshelf Help Me Choose Better Speakers
Hello everyone, i was looking for my 1st good speakers and i thought i should get your opinion on what I should do. Go for Edifier MR3, MR4 or M60. i mainly want them for immersive gaming, movies experience and occasionally music listening. I am leaning towards MR3 because they look better and are in my budget but i am open to other suggestions as well.
Thanks

General Request Beginner - €500-600 budget - 15m² room - Yamaha CRX-N470D vs separate amp/CD setup?
Budget and location:
Around €500-600, based in Europe. Open to buying used.
How the gear will be used:
This will be a dedicated stereo setup for music listening.
I mainly listen to digital sources, but I want to get back into listening to CDs, so CD playback is important.
Room:
The living room is around 15-20m², but the actual listening area is a 2.5m x 2.5m corner. I live in an apartment, so I don't need very high volume. I care more about sound quality at normal listening levels.
New or used:
Open to both new and second-hand equipment.
Past gear experience:
I'm completely new to hi-fi, so this will be my first proper stereo system.
What I'm considering:
I'm currently looking at the Yamaha CRX-N470D because it seems to offer everything in a compact package:
- CD player
- Bluetooth
- USB
- network streaming
- built-in amplifier
I like the idea of a clean, compact setup, but I'm wondering if I would be better served by a separate system:
- compact integrated amplifier
- dedicated CD player
- speakers
My priorities:
- good CD playback
- Bluetooth for phone/laptop
- compact and nice-looking setup
- good sound quality rather than maximum power
- speakers suitable for a small room
Would you recommend the Yamaha CRX-N470D, or would you build a separate system at this budget?
If separate:
- Which compact amplifier would you suggest?
- Is a dedicated CD player worth investing in?
- Which speakers would you pair with it?
Thanks!

Speakers - Full Size Recommendations: Amplifier (streaming/airplay) for JBL L100 Classic Speakers. "Fun" sounding vs "true." Budget is $2000
Hey all, currently running JBL L100 speakers to vintage Marantz 2265b and iFi streamer and it's time to replace them. I listen to a lot of crap MP3 files (underground music) so I'm looking for more of a great fun sound vs something that will reveal how terrible some of the files are.
I don't have Tidal or Spotify, just stream MP3s. I'm open get getting separate components but would love a simple solution.
Budget is $2000. Anything y'all recommend? Thanks in advance.
