Advices from Experts required.....

[admin_exported]

Hello Everybody

I am in a process of building my multimedia spot and I do need you advices.

I already have some ideas and I am not completely new in the area but I would really like your advice to understand if I am missing something and to learn from the best.

First thing my budget is not infinite...I would like to spend no more that 1700 quid

LED TV 40/42 (600 quid)

Ampli (250/300)

Speakers (250/300)

Wi-Fi external multimedia hard drive (250/300)

rest for DAC and Wi-Fi music receiver.

As I told you I am not an expert so I would really much appreciate your input and your advice...if you think that something is not necessary....if I am missing something absolutely important (floor stand?)

Think you are building your on system and let me know your ideas...

P.S. let me know if I should post this also in other, more related forums...thanks a lot

are you going for 2 channel sound, or surround for the tv?

what size room will it be in? what music do you listen to? do you know what kind of sound you would like?

external wifi hdd

dac/streaming player

Hey Craig thanks so much for the advices....

Regarding the Hi-Fi definitely 2 channel, I was thinking to a NAD 326 BEE with a couple of Wharfedale 10.1 diamond (not sure if it is a good fit though)

Room is 7x4 meters, couch in the short side, so kinda 3.5 meters from HI-FI.

Music I listen to everything from Classical to psychedelic rock....something that works little bit better with classical would be sweet.

TV not a big problem I'll figure something out.

So basically I was thinking to use the multimedia wi-fi Hard-drive to backup my Mac and to send directly movie to the TV.

For the music I was thinking to send it via my Mac through the wi-fi receiver (airport express?) to the DAC and after to the HI-FI (not even sure if it is possible) { I could use my I-phone with the App REMOTE} I gave a brief look to the DAC wi-fi that you suggested..I still have to figure out how does it works.

Maybe I can bypass the wi-fi receiver using directly the multimedia hardrive? but how can I see the music to play....only on the TV screen?

Sorry I know I have big knowledge lack still...

Any advice or new better suggestion very welcomed...

Thanks again

Try the 10.1's against either the Monitor Audio Bronze BR2 or BX2 - a customer tried all three out in our store Saturday, and for me (and the customer) the MA's were a far better balanced and better detailed speaker than the 10.1's.

I would suggest the Marantz PM6003 amplifier with Dali Lektor 1 speakers as an option. As a pairing they are superb, lots of details, good bass and a huge sound. The remaining budget can be spent on a good pair of stands.
