I noticed a pair of Vienna Acoustics Mozarts for $1200 posted to my local (Philadelphia) Craigslist. I don't know if you are in the Philadelphia area and these are the same speakers you are considering, but there are a few stores where you can demo some high end gear if that's the case. That being said, I think you are on the right track. If your budget can be adjusted for a little more towards the source component, you might want to consider an older Rega Planet or even a Music Hall CD player. They can be had in the $300 to $400 range and might match better with the other equipment mentioned.
any advice appreciated
Hello all. I've learned a lot from this forum. This is my first post, but I've been reading for a while. I'm about to set up my first real stereo system and I'd like your advice on the direction I'm going.
I have a budget of about $1700 for startup. I want a 2.0 system. I listen to listen to blues, rock, folk, motown, and some jazz. My living room is approx 25'x35' with 13' ceilings. I listen at moderate levels.
I'm about to pull the trigger and buy:
1. A used pair of Vienna Acoustic Mozart speakers ($1200)
2. A barely used NAD C 325 BEE amp. ($325)
3. A CD player yet to be determined. ($200)
My preferences tend to be toward warm rich tones. Anybody think I'm on the wrong path here? I'm in an area of the country that prohibits me from driving to my local retailer for a demo.
Any advice appreciated.
Thanks.
