Hello,
first of all, this is my first post on this forum so I apologize for any mistakes. If I am not asking my question in the correct sub-forum please tell me.
I recently bought a pair of Elac DBR62 speakers since they fit in my budget range and were recommended on this website. Now I need to choose an Amp. After reading some threads about this topic, sadly, I‘m still not quite sure what to buy. Some information that might play a role in the decision:
- I don‘t want to spend more than 800€, cheaper is better
- My room is 13m^2 and I will listen to music sitting at my desk
- I want to buy a subwoofer in the near future since (for my taste) the DBR62 lack bass
- My music sources are my PC (95% of my music) and a record player (the remaining 5%)
- I will eventually upgrade my speakers
- I already own a headphone DAC/Amp
With these criteria out of the way, I am open for anything… Integrated DAC/Amp or separate devices? Crossover functionality or a DIY filter circuit? So many questions…
In another thread i found the Elac EA101EQ-G. It seems like a good option since it has a dedicated sub-out and digital inputs. Then again, separate components might be better regarding upgradeability… all around I‘m just lost in a seemingly endless sea of choices. In addition to direct component recommendations I would also greatly appreciate some good reading material on general ‚hifi education and lore‘ - I would love to be able to make an educated decision.
Thank you
