Sorry for the late reply, but I was in a refletion mode.
I still haven't decided which option I should choose.
After talking with my doctor, he told me that the kidney market is hot right now, so I now have another option.
Option 3:
- 8040b + Cables ~ 2000€
- EX5 ~ 350€
- Total ~2350€
I'm trying to avoid the sub, because it seems that is complicated to integrate with a system and I’m also trying to avoid spending too much money on a DAC. After taking a closer look at the MiniDSP Flex I realised that the price is around ~750 and they are not easy to find.
But as you know, I'm a complete noob at this, so I'm probably making a very stupid decision, that is why I want to know your opinion.
So, to summarised. I'm not a professional, I just like to listen music, mostly metal, with the best quality possible and I like to listen a good bass, the one that you feel in your chest. I want to place the speakers in a living room, at a distance around 2 ~ 3 meters.
- Do you think that the option 3 is good for me, since I'm trying to avoid a sub?
- From what I have read, the 8040b doesn't have the D grade Amp, is that important?
- Do you think that I should look for a consumer hi-fy system instead of the Genelec speakers?
- After I tried the speakers at the store, I felt some ear pain, I thought it was because of the sound level, but then I found that there are some people complaining about this.
Do you think that this is a real problem and that my ears are not suitable for these speakers, or do you think this happened because of other factors, like the room size, or the fact that I was very close to the wall behind me? I'm planning to go to the shop today to try it again and see if my ears respond well.
Once again, sorry for these questions and thank you for your help.
Yes, this is exactly it. There are several speakers you can try there.Probably this one:

I have learned from this article that it is better to spend more money on the speakers than on the AMP/DAC.
