Hello ladies and gents!
Here's the thing, I'm looking to help a friend improve his audio experience. He's on a severe budget, was initially going to buy a cheap soundbar until I dissuaded him. I have a LEPY mini amp and a couple of 60cm speaker stands I plan to donate to his cause, his budget is 80-90ish -- I had hoped to find something along the lines of Wharfedale 9.1's, although I doubt the amp would power them particularly well even if superior to a soundbar. However, everything I see popping up second hand costs as much or more than new.
Should I tell him to pony up another £30 to just buy the 9.1's new or are there any second hand alternatives that aren't silly prices?
Speakers are not my forte, I'm more of a headphone man so I'm struggling a little with the budget even though I know it's viable.
