Man, that's a bummer and a tough one, but I've been in this kind of situation before. I guess let's get some numbers in here: how much are you looking to end up with in your pocket out of this, and that will give a better idea of what can be accomplished. My first thought is that the squeezebox should go as you have airport and a mac. There's not a lot of compromise there and then you can address what to do about your speaker/amp situation.
Need to downgrade any advice??
Hello everyone.
Well I am in the process of moving into my first place. Although it is good to move out of my folks place, I never realized how much money I would spend. The above, along with the space available at my current place, and my girlfriend nagging has lead me to the conclusion that I need to downgrade until my funds replenish.
Currently I own Green Mountain Audio Europas, a fully modded Bolder Squeezebox 2 with separate ac power unit, and a Onix sp3. One option is to sell my speakers and the sp3 and simply buy self powered 2.1 speakers. The second option is to sell everything and simply get a self powered 2.1 speaker and use airport and my mac.
Here my question. Based on what I have said what is the best option for me? I know I can get the most out of my squeezebox and I honestly haven't used it as much as I should have over the years. Yet I don't really want to get rid of it. Overall, I need a system that is more flexible, in terms of inputs, takes less space, and eliminates a lot of the cables. It also has to be user friendly considering my girlfriend is computer illiterate. Can I still get a good sounding system by downgrading and getting powered speakers?
Any recommendation on self-powered speakers and so forth are greatly welcomed.
