Hello all, first post so new to the forums, will adjust to any criticism!
I was hoping to tap into the vast knowledge of Home Audio present within this community for some more specific advice as to what your solutions would be to my scenario. I have attached photo's beneath of the flat/apartment I will be moving into in the next month. You will notice that the main space, like many modern buildings, is completely open plan. I'm guessing this makes audio choices some what more complicated and difficult to keep to a budget due to the extra power necessary. I am looking for a system which can fill this space with sound from situations that include easy, relaxed listening to playing from the TV to parties where there may be 10-20people in this space. As usual quality is a priority, I tend to lean towards a more bass heavy sound but maintaining a punchy tight kick. I plan on streaming music to the system using 'AirTune's' on Apple's Airport express which would be plugged in the corner by the windows (behind TV.) This would take music from computers connected to that network and the computers would be controlled by iPhones or iPod Touches (Apple's remote app/iTunes.)
So my stumbling block is now what to output the audio through. I have considered many routes, from the B&W Zeppelin with miniToslink to the Airport Express, to the popular Denon M37 + Q Acoustics 2020i route. I have a budget of around £400 for the system.
I just wanted to know if there were any options/ideas others might have for this setup and space? Any comments on the suggested speaker systems and there ability to perform to my needs are also much appreciated!
Many Thanks, Dave.
