Hello to all. Just a piece of my advice for everyone who want to change their HiFi , plan to buy or are not satisfied with the sound. It was probably mentioned thousand times here and there but I would like to emphasise this once again. If anything PLEASE START WITH THE PROPER LOUDSPEAKERS FIRST. In a traditional setup - Source - Amp - Speakers, it is the speakers that play the most important part reaching up to 80 % or more of the impact on sound. I.E. When you buy bad quality or not appropriate speakers your 3000 $ amp and 3K Source will not help ! The different thing is the other way round. With good quality loudspeakers and suitable to your taste - the sound will be much better with poor amp and source in this case. Really it is so !
Please mind - choose your loudspeakers correctly, never rush into buying them without proper listening. The studio or demo room in shops is only partially helpful - the loudspeakers will always sound a bit different when you take a personal listen to them in your room , not only acoustically but also your approach has influence on the sound - it is very important to have a chance to LISTEN TO THEM FIRST at your home with possibility of returning them if not suitable ! Please try to arrange such things when possible. DO NOT COUNT ON BURNING IN PROCESS ! This process will only soften a bit the drivers but will not change the overall character of the sound ! The bass can usually soften just a bit. So if you pull your LSs out of the box - after few seconds you will know whether they are good for you. If not do not prolong the time ! Pack them up and send back - prolonging listening WILL NOT IMPROVE THE THINGS.
Once again - despise low quality loudspeakers - they are rubbish ! There are many LSs there NOT EXPENSIVE but properly engineered by professionals , usually these LSs cannot be bought in popular chain shops but usually in HiFi dedicated shops or online. Please remember it is usually not an easy thing to pursue good loudspeakers and it takes time - but again this is the most critical link in HiFi chain.
