Hm, I have an Epiphone Casino thats semi acoustic, I'll have to see how bad that is. I wanted to put everything music related in one room, turns out different aspects of music don't always work together nicely heh.

I was thinking about that and how everything would be resonating while I was playing music. It made me think to put the stereo in the living room, where it's easier shared with visitors and probably will get more use, but harder to create a perfect listening position and enviroment. The blankets...

I'm in Belgium, but I can take a look to see if they're available here. I think my speakers are way too big for a small room. And I hope the room will be big enough to fit my drum kit as well, but if I have a tiny room I can get some small bookshelves and dual subs and that would be fun too. I...

They're in the living room atm, but we're looking for a house where I'll have a listening space, so I can't really tell right now (to make things easier). Maybe I should just wait until I have the room.

I don't like boomy bloated bass either, but I want to feel the kick drum in a song. If it sounds like a wet noodle hitting a shower curtain it's either a mix I don't like or the system is not for me. I can't really stand high tones, or sibilance so I don't think I'd do well in a bright system...

Well I have a pair of Arendal 1723 THX Monitors. Not considered a musical speaker I think? I like them for music as well as movies atm, underpowred by my 'cheap' denon amp. Would you have any suggestions at what to pair them with? Or should I hold off on buying an amp until I get different...

Aren't they a more neutral amp? I'd prefer some bass emphasis without losing much of the top end. I know they're highly regarded but the sound profile didn't sound like my cup of tea. They do look good and I hear a lot of great things about them. If I'd aim for the 6000 range I could get a...

I wouldn't, but If I could match and still have quality I'd like that. I won't buy the Arcam streamer just to match the A25 for example, since there are much better AND cheaper options.

I didn't, but I started looking at it over the weekend since I have some cd's of my late father I would like to be able to play maybe. It's not a priority atm, just looking at long term additions. EDIT: it's also not really my preffered medium for music. I like vinyl for the big covers, the...

Its's my current front runner, although I don't love that the matching cd player is a kilobuck..

After looking around this weekend Arcam A25+, Musical fidelity M5si and the cambridge EXA100 are on my radar to try and find to listen to. I am also debating wheter to go integrated or seperate pre amp and a power amp. For the Arcam I'm going to hold off a bit and wait for reviews, I can't...

I see, well that's that sorted then. The amp will be in between my speakers below my turntable, as the traditional stereo setup you see everywhere. A lot of equipment make the bass drum this washy bass in the background, more akin to an electronic back beat. (The floor Tom is more of a...

This is why I want to treat my room, standing waves can kill bass in your setup easily and make it fall flat. Good subwoofer placement can fix a lot, but I don't like to have reflection city in my listening room.

During my break I just watched a youtube review of the M5si of Andrew Robinson. I don't know him or how credible he is. But the way he kept coming back to the drums sounding the best in every song got me hooked. He talked about how the amp brings the Drums a little more forward so you can focus...

Interesting, I'll have to look at those two then, which is nice because I liked them a lot, even thought they're boring black boxes. What I find difficult about auditioning is that they're going to be paired with different sources and different speakers than I have, in a room that's deadend tot...
