You bet. Have fun learning, but in the end it's not difficult to put together a nice little system. My girlfriend's system: 2 Mission standmounts w/stands (used on Craigslist) lepai 2020 t amp (Amazon) bluetooth receiver (Amazon) Cost was less $125 for everything. Plugged the amp and Bluetooth receiver in behind a chair with volume at 50% and hooked up the speakers a few feet apart. She's never seen the amp, etc. She plays Pandora and controls volume via Bluetooth from her phone- has it playing everyday. Learn as you go and buy wisely. This hobby is as simple as her system or as complex and costly as a dedicated listening room with high dollar gear. It's up to you. Hope you enjoy your new system, gary |
I found this review on the ELAC Debt 6 http://thewirecutter.com/reviews/best-bookshelf-speakers/ He seemed to like them better than the Zensor 1's. Is this site pretty credible, seems like he put a lot of work into the review. |
Probably so, the Elac is well thought of in general. It may be just what you need. I think I could use them and be pretty happy, personally. I have seen the Elac for sale used on here- unless you want the ability to return them. However, they are not a 'ringer' for your tube amp, as Paraneer pointed out. (They may be fine.) I'd listen to them with a higher powered amp (50wpc or more) before committing to the tube amp purchase. If you are in a good Craigslist area, look to see if there is anything locally for sale used. A nice seller may be willing to let you bring your speakers over for a demo. From time to time I see solid, older receivers for sale for $50-$100. Some have a phono input and remote. May not be cutting edge, but you would be listening to music for around $300 or so. Once you get things up and going you will start to develop some preferences and know better what you want and need. gary |
