Pooooooo

Spoke to the audio guys at our work said they're chit

lol fluff

Yamaha

what did the guys at work recommend then?

So went to a place called kevin white audio in unley park

Didn't have sonos

In my mind I've just complicated everything I know by 100 and mortgaged all 3 of our houses to get what I want but don't need

Hasn't gone well hahahahaha

On a positive side we were shown a marantz amp that has everything the playbar can do app wise and more and found some nice wall recessed speakers and then a standalone active sub

Taken all the info and gone for a think about it

Still haven't heard a sonos done right yet lol

'owmuchizit?

The marantz CR610 with airplay is $1299

The recessed DLS speakers are $690 or $349 ea

The 8 inch active sub is $399 or $550 for the 10 inch

The amp is all the wifi features/app/airplay stuff you can think of but still has a cd slot in the front ( we liked that ) and it's only a entry level amplifier well suited for wall or bookshelf style speakers

Can run two fronts and two rear then the sub is quite nimble vs a typical amp/receiver

Sounded really good

There was a set of speakers taller than me and amps in that 10k mark, bookshelf speakers at 4k subs at 8k and all sorts of cray cray stuff going on

I dare say you could do 100k easy on the "best" stuff it's that's what floats ya boat

ouch... fairly big $$ for something you mention that is only "entry level".

I knew where this was going to go lol

Story of my life hahahahaha

Entry level of a better quality will always beat top quality of the lower brands in normal situations

It was a very impressive sound with CD and itunes and spotify playing

you could always stick to the original budget I'm confident you'd be satisfied with something reasonably simple.

Haha yeh as I said I've just opened a massive can of worms now

Should never of walked in there

The bloke was good and had no biased outlook as I asked about nearly everything and he had good things to say about nearly everything except soundbars but for obvious reasons re quality

Their sound rooms were very good so I understand that anything I hear would be at its absolute best there

well, if you "liked" the sound and you'll have a similar setup, then go for that If you won't have a similar setup, get something cheaper.

I'm not a fan of soundbar's, either

They let you play your music choices? They would definitely be able to price you up something cheaper than the stuff you listened to.

Yeh took the listings and will look for similar or cheaper pricing and then I might buy it but still looking reading and listening

Loooooooooooooooong process for a newb
