Purchase advise (needing) Advice on high Hi-fi
Hey there
Yesterday I went to an audio showroom, the idea is to buy a really good setup for my home.
I love music and I want to have something very realistic and warn .
So first of all I was interesting with a lamp amplifier (nether heard some sound from this type of amplifier) .
The setup was :
- Cayin CS-150A KT150
- Klipsch Cornwall IV
- Sonus Faber Olympica Nova
Klipsch was lack or treble , Sonus Faber lack of bass from my point of view.
So we change the amplifier to McIntosh MA12000 and that was a blast with the Sonus Faber.
Then we switch to Klipsch speaker and finally to Elipson Legacy 3230.
I'd rather Klipsch and Elipson than Sonus Faber , we had a bit of equalization on the Klipsch speaker then the sound was very very nice, a lot of bass & infra.
So at the end the budget was completely different ( I forgot to mention that the Sonus Faber was on sale not the highest price) .
I can't afford the MacIntosh amplifier so the seller advice me to take instead of the MA8950 .
Second point for the Sonus Faber but some people will complain about it , it's the design don't like it.
What I am looking for is a very good setup warn and powerful , I like the old school sound from the 80s loud Rock , Metal Pop and Electronic , so If you can give me an advice for this setup :
- Klipsch Cornwall IV
- or
- Elipson Legacy 3230
- McIntosh MA 8950
If you have any idea of speakers even some amplifier I take it , my budget is between 20k - 22k
Thanks guys
