Re: New hifi choice
 

Most of the time the hifi will be running via my pc, or running radio.

The cdplayer will only be while mates are around and I don't want the pc running.

Main thing I am after is rich bass. ( I love my bass ) and great quality even at high volume I do not want to loose the bass cone.

If it's pure sound quality you want: Sony

Re: New hifi choice
 

Oooohhh, I've changed my mind. Those look nice :)

Re: New hifi choice
 

depends what you want out of your system really. I have a cambrige A5 amp linked to a pair of gale silver monitor speakers, i believe this setup cost me about £200 from richer sounds. As sound goes, the feed from my laptop goes into it and is perfect, i have the sound from my laptop set at 40%, and i can't actually turn the amp past halfway without a wall of sound hurting me... ;)

Out of those two though, i would go with the panny :)

Ive got a pioneer VSX859RDS AV receiver I use this to switch all my sources.More inputs than an average man will ever need. Connected to this is obviously all my video sources,sky+ opticaly connected dvd coaxal tv etc. The I have kef coda 9.2 floorstanders as my front, a kef coda centre, a yamaha YST sw320 subwoofer.Morndaunt short ms10's as rears and a nice pair of missions for my passives. Very nice well rounded system

the fish was thissssss <____________________________________> big ;)

when you are a peasant who only has one input source, all this fancy gubbins isnt necessary :p:

Re: New hifi choice
 

I didnt build it all at once put it together bit by bit like you pc. It worked first time I hope you have the same luck with your pc ;)

And I do not fish its a cruel sport :D

Re: New hifi choice
 

I am more after a single stack for a few reasons, one is space and the second is cables, while I have owned seperates before in the past, and I know they hold the top end of quality, I am more after power.

I am leaning to the Sony but the Panasonic is a powerhouse which could steer me at last minute.

Re: New hifi choice
 

i have 4 6mm cores going to each speaker here.... all sheathed up nicely in chinese finger trap stuff though so is ok :D

surely a lower amount of better quality power is better than ridiculous amounts of power that sounds crap? ;)

i would still go panasonic, for reasons which involve me disliking sony :erm:

quiet you...

i powered it on and everything spun up, no warnings or anything.... still awaiting the CPU so we will see sometime :D

Re: New hifi choice
 

No warnings?? it should have beeped like hell without a cpu installed:confused:

to stay on topic I understand the reasons for a stand alone but imo there rarely as good as a sep system

Re: New hifi choice
 

Dont be turned to the darkside, use the force, use SONY ;)

Re: New hifi choice
 

The Sony seems to be winning, twin woofers in each speaker box... I bet the bass is nice, which is something I like with me listening to RnB alot.

I will likely get the Sony, run it for a few days if it does not suit take it back and get the Panasonic, as for seperates.. I wish I had the space, the cables coupled with the cables for my pc would be too much, as I need tape/radio/amp/cd/mp3/connection to the pc, speakers and subwoofer.
