i want to make a remark not critise this or that component, i have a relativelly big hi-fi component colection ,mainly from the 7'0´s but i have components since late 50´s or even 1941 by Philips
, it works today ,only buy cleaning it and it as a great design with high quality materials ,in the style ,some don´t know it but it´s Art-Deco , it as a incorporated woofer of 40 cm´s wide ,
it can be conected better speakers, a proper turntable that i own from my great-grandfather as the records,
but it evolved , being in my opinion the start point to built anything today it´s most of it from the 70´s not developed today,
as minimal apliences can be made to improve it´s quality of working , but now refering to several brands who do release new type of hi-fi components, they are expensive and the quality is not there, and i´ve seen it in amplifiers, speakers and turntables ,also cd players,
how can such low quality be refered by brands as being "audiophile range" or whatever those people are or from wich place in a city , they come out at night or very early in the day ,.because i never saw one and tthe one i was like what?! said to me with a cheap 90´s system that he is an "audiophile" he things good sound is extremelly high in volume ,high frequencies to the point of not hearing the other instruments or most of it,
he´s a kind of person that belives first in a kid with 20 years of life that made a video in youtube than me that i knew him and become friends when we were 4 years old , and he thinks he knows more of , as an example cassette decks and turntables than me who worked in this type of material since the mid 60´s ,
and evolved through the years. In the city where i live people ask about amplifiers or instruments to the ones they know and think they are experts and only then they send it to me and say that i am the most experienced in hi-fi or instruments ,such as analog ,including old electronique keyboards,
who people call synthesizers, but also explored a lot synthesizers from yamaha ,roland and Korg, and even used a groove box with a midi keyboard and smapler in my live acts when i was a dj and no cds at the time were aceptable to work and the quality of sound being so low it had a certain number of actions to take in a few minitus to be used as a source of sound,
Now i have been buying a new system but slowly to match everything the better possible, and i can say it´s complete but i am using a top of the line Magnat receiver (tube pre-amplified) as a older cd player i already had bought in 2016(also ,tube pre-amplified) with the transpull 1500 speakers and sounds good but it´s not what i expected but above many brands here refered and speakers, they sound good bu8t they seem very small or not that high quality compared to what i have from the 70´s ,80´s and 90´s,
and i´m talking about stereo sound not surround or DTS or anything like that ,i have my tv and box already conected to a system from the 70´s with matrix 4 . so what would be better knowing that i have some of the best sound systems done in the 70´s or 80´s and even some in the 90´s ,
this stereo equipment not needing more than two channels to music listening, is there anything from a price perspective, like a pre and power amplification system , speakers i do know them ,so i´d like a response from others and what are their opinion and till 5.000€ at the most,
only forget to refer that i have from 75 to 200 watts speakers from brands like Tannoy, Elac, Wharfedale, JBL ,more recentelly bought from around 89 to 95 DB´s as sensitivety, or frequency response from 20hz to 20khz or around 10 to 35 Khz, i think this two specifications are the most seen in speakers before buying them ,if not possible to try them before buying ,i seen it happen in more recent shop´s ,
before one would try diferent amplifiers and speakers at the stores, that i knowing the owner would buy those at a more afordable price, almost 45% of price reduction,
