Hello all. I am considering buying used HiFi equipment and would like some feedback and any knowledge into HiFis etc.
I was looking at Dali spektor 2 to pair with a Yamaha RX-V675 (Open to recommendations) with a budget of £200-£300 and this set would cost me £270*ish
However I have a big problem regarding to my TV, It does not have aux/optical etc. It only has Earc output.
But saying that I do own a PC and some other devices but mainly wanted to have the set next to my TV and to also use as TV speakers sometimes.
The AVR I listed is in my opinion very well priced and has everything I could need supposedly with future 7.2ch support.
But any recommendations on wiring, different speakers, different AVRs etc would be most appreciated or thoughts on how the system above would perform.
I've also not heard many speakers but my dad does own some really nice celestions, yamaha amp and an unknown sub in 5.1 which from my memory sounded amazing.
Thankyou in advance. I'm big into music but HiFis got a bit confusing for me especially as I am limited to ARC via HDMI.
I was also considering a small amp and DAC but maybe used AVR is better?
Also I realised I should maybe lsit other speakers I was looking at. Diamond 220. Polk XT20/15, Q acoustics 3020i, Diamond 9.1 10.1 and some others I cannot remember at this moment intime, My watchlist is CRAZY.
OH and the type of music I generally listen to varies from Dean Martin, Kali Ulchis, Rap, Nu metal/Heavy Metal. Basically any genre except RNB. Not sure if super important but thought I would add that. Would just like it to perform well with any genre basically.
Also to mention why I was looking at an AVR it is because it's £100 used with all ports I need and fosi amps etc are £50-£100 and ARC DACs look bad sub £50 and think would impact sound where good ones are £120+ assuming. But I am completely open and can possibly raise budget slightly for better sound but It's just a budget Home Audio/Hi Fi beginner setup I am after and can expand on.
