Small Home Advice
Hey, If anyone has a moment to spare I would like to ask the board (or bored as it may be) about some advice for a small living room sound setup. I take great pride in listening to a WIDE array of music and have an undying love for all things music. So I just need something for a room that will sound warm and welcoming. I've been reading posts on the board for close to two hours now on miscellaneous topics and notice a common idea; that everyone can drop $7,000 on a CDP or Amp. Sorry guys, this isn't feasable at this point. At home I get to listen to Planar speakers in a nice setup. For my personal apartment I want smaller. This is where my thought comes in. I hate Bose, with a passion. Bose systems cost like . . . I dunno... they cost much much much more than they are worth. But then I hear these Anthony Gallo Micro's. And they're like $600 and sound great. So what's out there sneaking around that sounds real good, but doesn't have the insane price tag? I want nothing more than to drop $10,000 on a system, but cannot right now. Any help would be greatly appreciated, or you can just blow me off.
