      Great video, as always! I would select Adam T8V active monitors ($450), Ikea KNARREVIK end table pair as stands ($30), and a Bluesound Node ($500- on sale, or grab a Node 2i).
      I know it doesn't have a record player but I challenge anyone to put together a better sounding setup for under $1000 (NEW!!!). The T8V measures incredibly well and has enough low-end for most folks to skip a sub. And the bluesound is a great streamer.

    As a Fluance RT82 turntable buyer...a BIG yes to the RT85 as it will save you money in the long run. The RT82 is so good that you will eventually want to invest additional money to make it even better as if you bought the RT85 (acrylic platter, better cartridge) in the first place.

    You two put together some great systems. I might do it a bit different.

    3. A "Fanless" Mini Windows PC about $160
    4. Schiit Modi $99.00
    All in at $947
    The PC lets you stream pretty anything i.e., audio, video, MP3, whatever. You just need to connect the PC to your existing video display. Honestly this similar to my personal set up. I usr the AXR100 (which is amazing) a Schiit Bi-Frost Multibit, ELAC Debit 2.0 F62s and other stuff. I suggested a similar system as AXR85 for friends and they love it.

    Love this…wish I’d have seen it about a year ago. Here is the system I put together that was way more than $1000:
    Schiit Sol turntable w/ mani phono preamp…$928
    Klipsch RP-500M…$479
    Reisong A10 EL34 tube amp…..$451 (with shipping from China)
    Total: $1,858
    While I love this system and listen to it several times per week, it is almost double what you have put together. I really wanted to go old school full analog with a tube amp for this system so I guess the only thing I’d change is the turntable. If I had it to do over I think I’d go with the U-Turn Orbit Plus with the Schiit Mani Phono Pre Amp. With that the systems still would have been over $1000 coming in at $1358. Could have used that extra $500 for more LPs. 😉 Oh well…I still love my system and that’s what counts. Thoughts?

Not perfect but good enough. The only complain I get from retailers when I go to purchase the cables and they ask me for brand of speakers, reactions are Jamo,wtf , are you serious and that it why I love them more.

    Good job K & A. For mine, I will choose the Cambridge AXA35, Fluance XL8S, Arylic S50 & U turn Orbit. $1077, but you have a complete package with streaming and analog enjoyment. The AXA35 is really, really good.

    • @KristiWright
      @KristiWright Před 2 lety

      Nice setup! The 35 is good but I thought the AXR100 was so much better so I'm still siding with it. The Fluance bookies are great especially for the price!!

    Here is my budget system: Klipsch powered reference 5.25” and a klipsch 10” sub. Very versatile for a second space. Plug is an optical cable and it’s a decent 2.1 home theater. Yet small enough to be computer speakers too.

  • @khrispeter85
    @khrispeter85 Před 2 lety +2

    Kristi got game, I personally would go for the Gold Speakers, the A50 and Sony turntable just for the awesome Frankenstein mash up of equipment and style.

    I got you beat, I bought two Polk audio Rti3 for seven dollars each at goodwill they are in decent condition, and a mini Denon receiver at a swap meet for 5 dollars, it must weigh 20 pounds, I could see a chip on the corner as if it had been dropped and I asked the guy if it worked he just smiled, I took it home opened it and found a circuit board the was popped out I pushed it in and wow have a nice system for a total of 19 bucks. sits on my large tool box at work with a custom PC I built (for work, best sound in the shop) with a Azus sound card, I just love it.

    i just purchased the jamo 5.0 system with the center channel, 801 and 803's, s 810 sub I purchased seperately. I also bought the denon 760 from costco. With all the speakers, speaker wire and stands I was right around 1,000. I haven't got it all delivered yet so I don't know how it sounds.....hopefully really good. Its replacing a 9 yr old vizio 5.1 surround.

    @mastacator2739 Před 2 lety

    Thanks for this Andrew, I think it does a lot of good for people getting into the hobby or just wanting a nice system. It’s really overwhelming for newcomers. Would you do one on a 2.1/3.1 home theater/hifi setup? Also some basic videos on the differences between integrated amps, AV receivers, stereo receivers, streamers, etc. I myself am finding it hard to know what I need. Love all the videos, keep it up!

    The Axr100 is really one of the most versatile amps I've ever heard.

      Tannoy Gold series is just my favorite range of powered speakers under 1k. I don't know about the states but there's serious stock issue of these speakers here in Japan, you would be lucky if you can get one at the retail price.

    Like most wives, Kristi has the art of bargain hunting for decent quality down to an art form. Yeah Andrew, Kristi beat you, but you're actually the winner. After all she said yes to you.

  • @javiej
    @javiej Před 2 lety

    In my opinion what works pretty well for budget speakers (specially towers) and subs is to search for manufacturers from your country or nearby that you may like. These things can be big and heavy, and transportation and taxes can make a significant impact at low budgets. And being local it will be easier to find good offers and a showroom to listen them before you buy.

  • @patrickjones8209
    @patrickjones8209 Před 2 lety +1

    Kristi definitely wins. Starting with the Sony STR DH190 is the ticket! Add the Klipsch RPM-600 speakers and there's plenty of funds left for entry level turntable and/or streamer.

  • @dansmith3085
    @dansmith3085 Před 2 lety +1

    Kristi took this one.
    That Sony receiver plus speakers and bluetooth from your phone could make for a serious budget setup, with plenty of options to add other components later.

  • @scottcarlson8936
    @scottcarlson8936 Před 2 lety

    We are pretty pleased with our set up under $1,000
    Pro-Ject Debut Carbon turntable (~400)
    Klipsch The Sixes Powered Speakers (-480)
    Using the Pro-Ject Preamp (~80) as it sounds better than the built in preamp.
    Then stream through Bluetooth to the speakers.

    You guy's rock, this was the perfect video for me right now as I just got my first house so now I can play music as loud as I want. Love the dynamic between you two and how much you know about Hifi and the different possibilities. One question I do have is Klipsch 600M or Monitor Audio Bronze 100 or maybe Silver 50? What would you lean towards?

  • @megasquidd
    @megasquidd Před 2 lety

    Great video, folks! I’m an AXR 100 owner and love it, but the BT in it is bad. I spent 20 dollars on a 3.5mm to 3.5mm cord to use the AUX plug on the front and it works great. Before the AXR 100 went to 600 it was my go to recommendation for everyone.

    Love the channel. I just purchased a pair of Jamo s 807’s for an apartment. In my old house I had a full surround Klipsch setup, bookshelf fronts a sub and those half round horn surrounds. Tried Onkyo, Yamaha never could get it powered properly. Don’t want the same problem trying a 2 channel setup. Power, I want the loud speakers to have enough juice for music and movies. I’m open to a turntable. Thoughts? Budget; woul like below $500 but if it’s worth the experience ceiling is $1,000. Thanks guys, keep it up
