Last my wife ( more on that later) and I were talking about how much we ( I ) would like to get into 2 channel audio. We have a nice onkyo / jbl 7.1 system with a projector and 110" screen so that end is covered but we both enjoy music as well and our system just does not do justice on music.
We don't have the biggest budget to work with and we would have to do this in steps... I just don't know where to start.We want a good record player ( is that even a word anymore) and a pair of good full range speakers and of course something to power them with and probably a good cd player as well, we use my Oppo 971 dvd player now.
I would like / perfer speakers that don't need a sub but im not opposed to getting 1 or 2 subs if needed.
So can you help me put together a good budget 2 channel setup?
Oh, I promised I would explain why my wife really wants this too. I was listening to Van Morrison on the radio and said how much I would like to have a record player because our system just does not sound right for music like this. She did not agree or disagree with that as its just noise to her but she did say how much she would like to have a record player and stories about when she was a kid. I said yeah, I would love to have that and tube amps and full range speakers and she said how nice that would be but I know tubes are out of my price range!
