Hi all,
I am looking at getting a micro system due to lack of space more than anything else and would appreciate a few pointers regarding what setup would suit. I have been dedicated hifi free for a long time, making do with a computer setup that sounds just plain nasty. Last setup I had was Technics based, amp, CD, graphic EQ and a pair of B&W's (model escapes me) This may not have been everyones taste but I liked it. Now while I understand the purist train of thought, i'm a little deaf in the top end and used the EQ to boost this and generally tweek the sound so it sounded good to me. I have done a bit of reading and it seems these are no longer required due to advances in technology ? Can someone explain this for me ? Also I have not seen any micro systems with any kind of programmable, just them horrible preset options, does anything like this exist ?
Musical taste is rock, classic through to Metallica.
Speakers will probably be mounted on wall brackets (again due to space)
The room is around 18' x 15', typical livingroom furnishings but no big, soft, sound munching sofa's, but carpet not wooden flooring, I take it all these things still affect sound!
DAB is pretty essential to keep wifey happy with purchase and iPod dock is also required
Price is not really an issue for the right system but i'm not going broke over it. If there is a unit that is good but would perform better with different speakers than that's fine, as I said I generally need to boost the top end and a good clean bass is a must.
Any help, pointers and advise to save me buying a dud are appreciated
