Reading Room: Dedicated Vinyl System, Suggestions


So I have the bug again of system building...
Small vinyl 2.1 system in my reading room, 14x15, away from the big AV rig downstairs for intimate atmosphere.

Existing:
AT 120 turntable .
Music Design SP 2B tube preamp (Pristine Condition, not used in 15 years)

Need:
Stereo Amplifier matched to Muscial Design Preamp
Book Shelf speakers w/sub

My concern is matching preamp to a power amp i think at this point.
If the price was right, maybe should just get Integrated NAD amp or something?

Thanks

In a room that size you might not need to worry about a sub.  I think you can find any number of good, stand-mount speakers that provide sufficient low end and will sound more coherent than trying to integrate a sub with the satellite speakers.  I have a room just a couple of feet larger than yours, and I've found a decent pair of bookshelf speakers to be more than enough in terms of bass (and sometimes even too much).

Just a thought,Scott
