T8V

I’ve got the Adam Audio T8V’s and they are great for mixing and dabbling in production. If you have a small room the T5V’s might do, but I love drum and bass so the 8’s forgo the need for a sub. I’ve had to treat the corners of my room though as my room is on the small side.

Adam Audio T8V, impressive bass and sound clarity.

I would recommend a Wiim ultra streamer and ADAM Audio T8V 8-inch Powered Studio monitors. The wiim has hdmi arc for your tv and a phono stage. The adam will provide a big sound from a small speaker.

"Affordable" is subjective. What is your budget? In my eyes Adam Audio T5V or T8V's are very good price/performance

Thanks for the feedbackbro. I’m using it with Adam Audio T8V monitors so not high end as your Genelec, but it sounds really good to my hears too.

adam audio t8v and a matching sub is probably what I would get if I have to choose a new stereo

i d say kali audio lp8 v2 but you are better off going to a music store and listen to the available options like yamaha hs8, adam audio t8v etc. and choose the ones you like the best

This is pretty much exactly my setup, except I have an SACD player instead of vinyl and a Lyr+ instead of the Magni. Keep in mind that the Magni is a headphone amp and preamp, not an amplifier. That means you're going to need to have active speakers/powered monitors (as opposed to passive speakers).
