So maybe you guys can help me in deciding.
here is the issue
My apt is 700 square feet all in all.
The two places I listen to music are my bedroom appx 180 square feet and my Living roon which is appx 200 square feet ( with a listening distance of 12 feet only)
Right now I have my old JVC mini system with two speakers rated at 15 watts each.
It fills both rooms quite a bit and actually it fills the Living room more as the rooms listening distance is shorter than my bedrooms.
I want to have something to listen to in both rooms. In my bedroom i have my guitar amps where I can play louder since the room is further away from the front door and is more isolated to not bother the neigbors. So I can actually hear music louder in there.
I also love hanging out in my living room more since I have the TV in there and my sofa.
I just started listening to hifi systems and really liked the combination of an Arcam FMJ A19 with some Martin Logan motion speakers.
The problem with this system is:
1) Will be stationary in the Living room only where currently my 15watt speakers do fill the room pretty well. ( i cannot play music or movie volumes too loud)
2) Expensive. ( about $700 for the Arcam and $1500 for the speaker pair)
The pros are:
1) Sounds great
A second solution I was thinking of was getting a pair of active speakers such as the Adam f5s
The Problem with this system is:
1) Doesnt sound as good as the Martin Logan setup
2) cant upgrade and expand
The Pros are:
1) Can use them for my Living room as well as move them around easily to my bedroom when I want
2) sound good
3) much cheaper
4) Power is more suitable to my volume restrictions
I was thinking of getting the active speakers for now and maybe later after listening more and expanding my knowledge, plus the Martin Logans will come out with a new model and be WAY cheaper in the near future.
On the other hand I could get the Martin Logan/Arcam setup and have a really nice setup. but it will be turned pretty darn low for the power it can outut.
any suggestions?
thanks!
