Don’t forget the vintage NAD 7020, which is the 3020 with a receiver. Just got one off of eBay and had my guy replace some caps and clean it up. Total invested $200. Replaced my 15 year old Paradigm Atoms with new ELAC Debut 6.2s that we’re on sale on Amazon for $150. Great sound for $350 all in.
Just getting started on a budget and need bookshelf speakers/receiver now
I am poor and need some bookshelf speakers and a receiver, all for around $600-$700. I know this is a surely a travesty for most of you because you are professionals, but... I have to start somewhere and won't come into much more money anytime soon. I currently have Infinity Reference 2000-3 speakers and a Yamaha RX-395 receiver. I listen to CLASSICAL music and OPERA. I'd like to have the speakers and a receiver that can handle bluetooth, my cd player, the tv and computer. I've looked at Kanto YU6, Cambridge Audio SX-60, ELAC Uni-Fi UB5 and MartinLogan Motion LX16. But I don't know if these speakers are better than what I've got (I have to think they are since mine are ancient). I know you will probably say "just save your money," but that won't work. Can you please help me?
