Q3 Meta

I’ll premise this by saying I don’t know shit about turntables. But I do know the biggest piece of your budget should be speakers. Maybe like 30-50% of it. Here are a couple ideas: $1000 is very doable. Kef Q3 Meta $499 at Best Buy WiiM Amp $299 Amazon $200 for a turntable with a phono built in. I’m

I’m really liking them so far. They were a big improvement over what I was using before, and I did get to compare them in-store against speakers like the B&W 606 and KEF Q3 Meta, which were clearly better but also a fair bit more expensive. For the money, the Encels felt like the best choice and I’m

I think the primary benefit you would appreciate with that switch would be the improvement in volume within a relatively large space. the LSX II are a great-sounding speaker for near field, but you are probably pushing them hard in a room that size. the flipside is that I think the LSX II has somewh

Good choice of amplifier, I also love the JBL SA550's looks! If they aren't too big in size, I can highly recommend these bookshelf speakers: KEF Q Concerto Meta - nice speaker cables included Otherwise, the slightly smaller model in the same Q series would be a nice upgrade too: KEF Q3 Meta in Whit

Not sure about discontinued, but i've seen a shift away from selling them via audiophile channels to mass sales via costco. whereas the LSX II are still selling at high cost audio-oriented sites, at 3x the price of the 'LT' version. I agree with you that the Coda have larger drivers, a larger cabine

This is a steal if floor standers are an option.Revel F35 $900. https://www.crutchfield.com/p_265F35WH/Revel-Concerta2-F35-High-Gloss-White.html Other suggestions: Ascend Sierra-1v2 $998 https://ascendacoustics.com/products/sierra-1-v2-pair Polk R200 $750 https://www.crutchfield.com/p_107R200BWN/Polk-

There's a lot of good advice in the comments. I'll echo what everyone else is saying--do not get the Fluance package. You can piece together a much better system for that price. You gave us a range of $1,000 to $2,000 so everyone, including myself, is going to push the upper limit of that range. ;)

Are you talking about Klipsch RP-402S surround speakers? Those are not intended for stereo listening. (And those types of speakers aren’t good even as surround sound speakers with the way multichannel codecs are designed these days. They should be regular direct firing (i.e. monopole) speakers.) Als

I would get some stands for those speakers and get them out of the shelve. Some Kanto stands from Amazon do the trick no problem! For a slim subwoofer, the only one I know that doesn’t get killed by the reviewers is the QAcoustics 4060 if I remember correctly. An older KEF PSW does the trick totally

It is not good for music or TV. Get proper speakers and it will blow any "all-in-one soundbar" out of the water. For $1800 you can get KEF Q3 Meta and Denon DRA-900H and add a subwoofer later
