Hi
This is my first journey towards high end hi fi systems & am confused. I'm listing down some queries which I request you guys to answer.
1. As said above am planning to go for a high end 2 channel audio system, pls. tell me shall I go for an amplifier first or speakers first ?
2. I wish to buy pre-power amplifier separates. Last week i auditioned Rotel RB 1510 power amplifier & Rotel RC 1550 pre amplifier. Pls. tell me is how Rotel amps are ranked in the market ? Are they worth their cost of Rs 1 Lac plus ?
3. How are Quad amps ? I saw the listing on HiFi Mart. Are these amps worth their price ?
4. How are Quads as compared to Rotel ?
5. I'm also open to integrated amplifiers. So any suggestions on good integrated amps are welcome. I like listening to Hindi music with English songs of mid 80s thrown in sometimes. So i like music which is very open, high highs & just good amount of lows.
6. Now coming on to the speaker part. I would like to invest in towers. Heard a couple of JBLs. JBL Studio 590, JBL ES 100. I would want to know which is a good brand of tower speakers to go for besides JBLs?
7. Are B&W speakers good or better than JBLs ? And are they worth their price of 1 lac plus ?
Request you to pls. reply my queries point by point so that it becomes easy for me to look out for hifi systems... I know i need to listen extensively before buying and also different systems may sound different. But still need the inputs from you hifi-vions.
Thanks in advance.
