What kind of Sound systems are the best?

best speaker system for classical music image

l940528

There are so many kinds of sound systems out there these days.
I am a very sensitive listener and want to buy a sound system that can play classical (and purely classic, mostly violin concertos) music like it is being performed on a stage. Can anyone please give me background info (i have NO knowledge on this area) as well as suggestions and pricing?
Thank you in advance!

Answer
If price is no object, and you are a critical listener, you should go with a pre/pro setup. You will have a pre amp, which is what you will connect all of your sources to, then you will have an external power amplifier which is what will supply the power to drive your speakers.

I can give you some brands to look at

For pre amps- you can use pretty much any avr with pre-outs which is what you will use to connect your power amp.

*Denon
*Onkyo
*Yamaha
*Marantz

For power amps, I am guessing you ware wanting a 2ch stereo setup.

*Krell
*Mark Levinson
*Lexicon
*Classe
*McIntosh(can be VERY pricey)

All of those power amp brands can be pretty pricey, but if you are wanting the best performance you can get, and you are wanting it to sound like a live performance, those brands are the way to go.

You will also need some speakers:

Some notable brands worth looking at:

*Bowers & Wilkins
*Monitor Audio
*Martin Logan
*Polk Audio
*JBL
*Klipsch
*Paradigm

Of course, you will need to go to a store/dealer and audition the equipment you are interested in. Nobody can just sit her and tell you what sounds the best. Everybody hears things differently, what sounds good to one person may sound like crap to someone else... or vice-versa.

I have $1200 to spend on my Car Audio System and I don't want a subwoofer. What do you recommend i get?

The Unit

I am clueless when it comes to top brands, types of amps, speakers, capacitators etc. If you could just list the top stuff to purchase and best place to purchase it for my $1200 budget, it would really help me out. Remember i don't need Subwoofer speakers, amp or box. I listen to Classical music and bass isn't a priority.

Answer
Here are some that i would choose, it all depends what fits your car though.
