Hi everyone, rookie here and just after some advice.
Anyway, had a great night on the punt last week and figured what the hell, let's finally listen to all this vinyl(as opposed to the cd I'd buy at the same time) that I've collected over 20+ years. 95% of it fits into the punk rock genre, ie. Fatwreck, epitaph, lookout, dischord, nitro labels, etc etc.
Being that there's no nearby hifi store and being one that's not exactly reckless or risk avoidant, I dived into some online stores and then cross referenced things with google/YouTube reviews.
I ended up with:
Debut carbon Evo w/2m Red
Rotel A11 Tribute integrated amp
Klipsch The Sixes Speakers
Now I'm positive there's no issue with the turntable and amp combination but having done further reading I'm now second guessing my choice of speakers.
Because the speakers have a built in amp and I don't intend to add a CD player at any time, should I have just purchased a phono pre-amp instead? I say that because I understand the inbuilt phono amp is rubbish. Is the amp basically useless now bar the phono? If I've made the wrong choice of speaker, what should I be looking for instead at or around that price?
I spent $900 on the Rotel, $750 on the turntable and $1300 on the Klipsch sixes, this is all Australian dollerydoos.
Ive opened the Rotel but understand I can return the amp with no penalty. The speakers which arrive in a couple of days, not so much.
If you've made it this far down, I thank you and sorry for the long, disjointed post. Yesterday I was confident but now having gone down the rabbit hole, I'm either second guessing myself or having a light bulb moment, so before I stuff up monumentally I'd appreciate any feedback or suggestions.
Cheers and thanks heaps!
