Hello guys,
so i am thinking about buying a new 2.1 speaker set.
I already own an old but good receiver and i will connect it to my new turntable as a source for music.I was thinking about a two small bookshelf speakers and a subwoofer.
My room is kinda small(about 12x12 ft) so keep that in mind.
What are my options here?
Thanks in advance,
Panos
If you're doing music only, you might not even need a subwoofer with those speakers.
If you prefer a warm, laid back sound for music I'd look into the Wharfedale Diamond 10.1 or 220 from Music Direct dot com (the Philharmonic AA is more on the neutral side). They also have lots of mid-bass presence and may be fine without a sub for music only.
If you're also doing HT, then the BIC PL200 sub can be had for around $300 from Amazon and should be plenty for a small room.
Those or the EMPTek Rb5, maybe the NHT Superzeros. With either you would need a sub for sure. I'd spend the extra $100 and get the new RSL sub for $400.
Considering you're in an apartment especially, that is what I'd recommend.
Q Acoustics, Emp Tek, Ascend Acoustics, Wharfedale, Cambridge Audio, PSB, Audioengine as well as other brands are in the $400/pair bookshelf price range.
Don't forget about $40 for a pair of stands, (Sanus from Crutchfield are good choices).
Thanks for your reply.
What you suggested sounds like a good solution.
Also how can i understand if a speaker set needs a subwoofer?
