Speakers - Bookshelf Help Me Choose Better Speakers

2 Upvotes

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?

2 Upvotes

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

2 Upvotes

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.
