Hi all,
I'm a newbie, just joined....I wonder how many of you go back far enough to remember these ancient items which I am still using...
. It's time to upgrade following a recent move. Here's what I have and I'd love some advice on what I should be upgrading to and whether any of this is worth keeping, possibly for its antique value? (feeling like a bit of a dinosaur right now!):
Turntable (yes, I still have LPs) Rega Planar 2, with Rega arm and cartridge.
CD: Aiwa XC-300, a whathifi recommendation from the early '90's.
Receiver: Harmon Kardon 3270RDS.
Speakers: Mission 760i's on Alphason stands fed with QED 79 strand.
I've got a bigger room now, about 30 x 16 feet and the sound is a bit puny. Listen mainly to CDs, some vinyl, mainly rock, some classical. I also plug in my MP3 player occasionally.
As you can tell, I'm not the ultimate audiophile but I'm looking for a decent musical sound to fill the room, and preferably, I'd like to put the speakers closer to the wall (they are about a foot away from it now). I can budget up to about £1500 but could go upgrade in stages if it makes sense.
It's be great if you could share your wisdom with me.
Many thanks,
J
