Hey all,
This is my first post on the forum! But I have been reading lots of threads.
I need some advice I am about to take the plunge and lay some money out on a system that could last me for life.
I have about £1500(could be increase for the right reasons) to spend but I am confused as the world of Hi-Fi/Home Cinema seems to have become complex.
These are my intial thoughts:
1. The main purpose of the system is for music, me and my girlfriend have an eclectic taste from Jazz to Indie to Rock, music will be the main use of the system
2. I would like a system I can plug into my Xbox/TV/NAS (Qnap 259) and enjoy the films.
3. I think I will begin with two floor standing speaks and flesh out the system over years to come.
4. I would like to make use of air play and spotify and my iphone.
5. I am a big fan of honest simple technology, I dont like shiney black plastic slapped around my lounge like some bachelor pad. (This is perhaps a strange this to say on an audiophile forum, but I can't enjoy the music surrounded by ugly things
) So ideally beautiful wooden speakers and simple matt black square seperates.
This is all I have managed to wrestle together so far, feel free to put me in my place.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Hopefully this tread will start me on a road to getting that system in my lounge in the next month!
