MarkR_22 6 Posted May 31, 2020 Share Posted May 31, 2020 Hi all, I've stumbled across these forums for a couple of reasons. I need to upgrade my 2.1 hifi setup after moving into a much larger home, but I know it's easy to spend a lot of $$ and not get the results I'm after! I'll wander the forums and get some ideas. Happy to try some second-hand gear first and it looks like this is a good place to learn. Also, my father in law has just moved into a retirement village and has offloaded an old Kenwood turntable that he wants me to sell. I've got no use for it, so once I've done my time/posts I'll see if there's any interest in the classifieds section. Thanks for having me Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bill125812 3,726 Posted May 31, 2020 Share Posted May 31, 2020 Hi Mark Welcome aboard mate. Maybe you could tell us a little more about the gear you have Lots of great forums and some very knowledgeable people to learn from here And the classified’s are a great place to pick up some bargains, but you will have to make a few posts before your given access to them. Enjoy Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MarkR_22 6 Posted May 31, 2020 Author Share Posted May 31, 2020 Thanks Bill! My current setup is getting long in the tooth. It was for a small living room (4.5m x 3m) and did the job nicely: Receiver: Denon AVR-591 Speakers: Usher S520 bookshelf Sub: Klipsch Sub 10 Since moving house, I've now got an open-plan living/kitchen area, which measures about 9m x 7m, with a further 4x5m dining space coming off it without any doors. The Denon's Audyssey room EQ did a great job of making it sound good, but frankly the Ushers don't provide a big enough sound. My setup is for TV and music 50-50 in 2.1, but I'm not sure whether I need a different AVR / amp, or just an upgrade on the speakers. I'm thinking something like the KEF Q750s, but I don't know if the Denon AVR has enough power to drive them effectively. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
