Hi, first post, apols if there is a million threads on this same topic, I checked the stickies and all the recommendations for kit seem a few years out of date.
OK, I am slowly rebuilding a lost vinyl collection of mainly 80s/90s UK and US Rock so, while I want to hear the records as they were intended, clearly it’s not a genre that demands closed eyes and deep diving into orchestral level recordings. Also, this is for vinyl only, I am happy to listen to streamed music on my headphones and iphone or Alexa, no problem.
So I need a turntable, amp and bookshelf speakers.
Budget will be £1000 max.
My room is a normally furnished lounge 15’ x 30’. The listening position is seated on a sofa halfway along one of the 30’ walls. No real restrictions to place the speakers on top of cabinets at head height on the opposite side if the room. No room for speaker stands.
I have had a look at the Elac Debut 2.0 B5.2 speakers and the Emotiva TA-100 but with bluetooth (which would be good if I did want to switch to my Bose headphones) its double the US price. Thats as far as i’ve got and i need a shortlist to go and listen to. Can you recommend?
