Hi guys. I've been listening to vinyl on a dumpy ion usb turntable/generic bottom end all in one reciever/klipsch icon wb-14s.. and, well, Christmas time lends itself to a healthy upgrade. Through a bunch of research I've put together these components but let me know if anything is missing and please let me know if you have thoughts on alternative options!
Turntable: Pro-Ject Debut 3 (or potentially debut carbon?)
All-in-one amp: Marantz PM6004
Speakers: KEF Q300
The KEF speakers seem to suit my music interests, and it sounded like the PM6004 is a good fit for them. However, I'm really open to any suggestions. I also came across the Magnepan MMGs (which are very enticing to me!- just worried about the bass), B&W 685, Usher S-520, Parradigm Shift A2, NAD C326BEE, NuForce DDA-100 recievers; Music Hall MM 2.2 Turntable and a whole bunch of other stuff.. I mostly listen to classic rock, so a full bodied and well balanced sound is important to me while still maintaining a punchy bass. I would be open to purchasing a woofer though. Budget is somewhat flexible, would be willing to consider going up to 2K if it means a noticeable jump in quality
Also, I'd like to purchase a cd player- do you think it would be worth it to get something like the matching Marantz cd6004 player or could I opt for something cheaper without the quality being totally dismal?
This will be in a 100-400 sq foot room.
Thanks for your suggestions!
