    Audiophile newbie, pregnant wife --> Need new set up recommendations!

    After spending ages on the internet reading reviews, I finally pulled the trigger on a pair of Emp Tek e55ti's. The only bad comment I've read about them is the lack of bass coverage. However, I didn't want to order the matching subwoofer immediately (it's on sale for $199 now). I need the money...

    Also wanted to add that the shape of my living room is L shaped with the TV set up on the short segment of the L.

    So let me try and understand this set up. You are suggesting that I buy a pair of powered speakers (so that I won't need an amp?) and connect them to a network player so that I can stream music online and also into other rooms of the house if needed (just get additional sonos speakers as and...

    Thanks :). I'm most certainly keeping the TV turned off which is why I don't even plan to hook these up to the TV.

    Excellent, just read a review. Exactly what I need. I'll probably still look at separate systems and compare, but this is an excellent option to keep in mind. Thanks!

    Thanks for all the wishes and responses so far! Yes, I live in the US. Is this predominantly a UK forum? If so, I might consider posting my query in a more American forum.

    Audiophile newbie, pregnant wife --> Need new set up recommendations!

    Hi all, I'm new to the audiophile world. I've always been in love with sound. I am an amateur pianist (been playing for 20 years now). The first thing I bought when I had the money was an acoustic piano because I couldn't stand the sound from my older digital piano (a fairly high end one). So I...
