System setup


I am new to high end home audio and Audiogon. I am ready to purchase a high end system and would love to do so through Audiogon but, honestly, I don't think I'd be able to set up all the equipment properly to optimize performance. I'm not comfortable asking my local high end audio store(s) to do it, or even pay them to do it, because I wouldn't be buying the equipment from them. Any suggestions? Thanks a lot.

My room is almost exactly that size, I'm setup on the 25ft wall. If your going to use this as a multi system (HT/music combo}...go with speakers that are fairly easy to drive, and will play loud.

One suggestion, VMPS speakers fit the bill....lots of others out there also. I don't use a screen by choice...I do shoot around, 100" picture on a white wall though...seems about the right size for my room, At 17' viewing distance. (60" may be a little small...depending?)

Good luck,

Dave
If you have the time to spend, using a local audiophile and paying him for his time, and input...is a very good idea...Elevick may have made you a good offer?

I am not in the setup biz myself (just a hobby), but....I did spend a couple of days setting up a complete HT setup for my wifes Doctor a few months back....she (and hubby) were blown away with the results. I charged them $25 an hour, some of that cost ($100) was research.... finding components that fit their wants and needs, at good prices...$500 total.

Good luck,

Dave
