New hifi choice - Page 2

AndrewJ · 04-10-2005, 19:06

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

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

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 ÃƒÆ’Ã†â€™ÃƒÂ¢Ã¢â€šÂ¬Ã…Â¡ÃƒÆ’Ã¢â‚¬Å¡Ãƒâ€šÃ‚Â£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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

AndrewJ · 05-10-2005, 18:19

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.
