I mostly listen to jazz, jazz fusion, rock, soft rock, and pop rock. This is my sub. The AXA25 has a minimum impedance of 8 ohms, and the speakers I want have 6 ohm impedance. I have a Fluance RT81, which does have a built in preamp.

I will. Thanks for the help.

I unfortunately do not have any affordable Hifi stores near me, they mostly sell really high end stuff. I am curious about not needing a sub out on an amp, could you explain?

I looked again at the 3050s on the link I provided and I think that it is just one speaker instead of a pair, which brings me back to the Elacs. Since they are bookshelf speakers, I probably need to use my sub, so now I also probably need an amp with sub out. I'm kinda back to square one here...

It is a bedroom that isn't small, but not huge either. I listen to vinyl.

I've heard great things about the Elacs, but I don't know much about the 3050s, however they were recommended to me on another thread. Update: I've just looked into them and found a What Hi Fi? article that speaks quite highly of them.

As a kind of starting pair of speakers, should I get the Elacs, or the Q Acoustics? Both of these deals are brand new, but at the same price. Do floorstanders need a subwoofer to sound good? If not, I could get an amp like the Cambridge audio AXA25 or the Arcam SA10, which don't have sub out...

Thanks! I just didn't really see any useful reviews - might have been a difference between countries or something, idk.

Thanks. Without you, I never would have thought to check.

Thanks! Out of curiosity, I wasn't really able to find any reviews, where did you find them?

I recently got the opportunity to obtain a pair of Kenwood KS-401HTs, should I keep them, or continue my current plan to get the ELACs? I haven't tried them out yet, do any of you guys know if Kenwood makes good speakers or anything about the sound quality of these specific ones? Thanks.

Didn't know that distinction, thanks.

The most basic of RCA splitters has 2 inputs and one output, and a button/switch to toggle between (Like a turntable and a CD player to an amp). Most have the option of the opposite as well, which is one input to two different outputs (A turntable to either an amplifier or something like a...

Is it necessary to have multiple inputs on an amp, or would it work just as well to use an RCA splitter?
