Hello,
This post is very similar to that posted about a week ago by Bleep. I am also new here and am seeking advice on building a new system for listening to my CD collection of classical, jazz and also rock.
Currently, my old system is one that I built many years ago and is falling apart: NAD 7240 PE receiver, Nakamichi DR-3, Marantz CD-67SE, Baby Advent II speakers. I don't listen to tapes on the tape deck anymore, and the speakers need replacement of the woofer foam. I don't have a television or watch movies, but I do listen to news on the radio, so I would need a tuner. I occasionally listen to music with Pandora through my MacBook, and for this I employ Harmon Kardon Soundsticks II. I would be willing to get rid of those if I could pipe it through the stereo system instead. Otherwise, I've been slow to change over to purchasing music on iTunes because of a preconceived notion that downloaded music is inferior to CD (which is inferior to vinyl - but I don't use my Technics turntable anymore either - so much for acting on preconceived notions).
My apartment is small, so I am somewhat limited by physical space. The room with the stereo is 6 m x 7 m with 3 m ceilings. The speakers and components have to be on shelves. Like Bleep, my priority is quality of stereo music. Unlike Bleep, I am technologically stuck but maybe can spend a little more (I am budgeting up to $4000 USD). I would be grateful for your suggestions.Thanks very much.
