This bundle of amplifier + speakers has a very poor price-to-quality ratio. For a third of this price, you can build a better system.

The easiest, fastest, and cheapest way to integrate a subwoofer into your setup is with a room correction system, such as Dirac.

Room correction is the easiest, cheapest, and fastest way to make good sound in a bad room. To do this, you do not need to "select" speakers. That is why I consider this function to be the most important in modern audio equipment. (Personal comments deleted by moderation. Do not repeat.)

Amplifiers do not sound, they do not have "their own" sound. Amplifiers amplify, nothing more. To participate in the discussion, you first need to overcome the typical audiophile stereotype.

On the contrary. Digital correction is almost the only functionality for stereo listening, for which it is worth overpaying

For you, speakers exist separately from the room, they hang out somewhere in space, in Earth orbit, maybe? 😹

I did not mean only ready-made triphonic sets 😹

DSP processor, of course. Room is a 80% of sound quality

An ancient, bulky analog device, today it has no meaning, even aesthetic (old European/American audio equipment was usually worse in quality and appearance than Japanese)

Triphonic (2.1) is the cheapest way to build a quality stereo system with deep bass. The subwoofer is more flexible in placement than bookshelf/floor-standing speakers.

Roksan is an audiophile brand, poor value for money. In addition, there is no DSP processor, which means you lose the ability to adjust the speakers to your room. As you know, your room is 80% of the sound. If I were you, I would buy the Onkyo RZ30 - this is a modern combine that has...

Bill, don't put other people's words in my mouth. It was about the correction of the acoustics of the room, as the main factor affecting the sound. Dirac/Audyssey is the easiest way to achieve a good result. The circuitry of a modern transistor amplifier has NO effect on the formation of sound...

This is a common audiophile misconception. In fact, a multi-channel receiver is the best choice for stereo, due to the fact that there is a room correction function (Dirac, Audyssey), which is key to getting a good sound. And this is just one example.

I wouldn't advise anyone to buy stereo amplifiers at this price (£3,500), especially audiophile brands. $1000 AV Receiver (Onkyo RZ30) Fully Covers the Audio Needs of a Typical (Small) Home Room

The link is the same chatter. This dude does not give practical recommendations, only general phrases.
